Advent Mission Nights
Advent is a special season for the Church. It is the time when the world prepares to celebrate the coming of Christ. One way our parish is seeking to prepare for Jesus’ birth and experience true transformation in this powerful season is by engaging in a program from Ascension. This program is Rejoice! An Advent Pilgrimage into the Heart of Scripture, Year B. This year, we will explore the Sunday Mass readings through daily reflections, prayer, and journaling, with weekly prayer videos presented by Fr. Mark Toups and his friends Sr. Josephine Garrett and Fr. Josh Johnson. We will be hosting Advent Mission Nights on November 30, and December 7, 14, and 21 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the St. Mathias Church Social Hall. Rejoice! is an opportunity for our whole community to enter the season of Advent intentionally, and receive the grace God is waiting to give us in this holy season. Join us for Advent Mission Nights and take full advantage of this transformative experience.
WEEK 1
We know your life is busy, especially in the Advent season.
You might be longing for less anxiety and hurry in your life and craving more slowness and peace.
In this first week of Advent, we are excited to share a meaningful video reflection with you. In this video, Fr. Mark Toups shares how to hear God's voice and find more joy and peace in your daily life.
