First Sunday of Advent November 29, 2020

ADVENT EVENING OF REFLECTION

Sunday, December 6 7 pm @ St. Francis- St. Maximilian

Advent comes from the Lan word meaning "coming." Jesus is coming, and Advent is intended to be a season of preparaon for His arrival. While we typically regard Advent as a joyous sea- son, it is also intended to be a period of preparaon.
