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 2

As we journey further into the season of Advent, we invite you to continue your spiritual preparation with a special video message for this second week.

This Advent (and always), God is inviting us to a deeper peace. He is inviting us to loosen our grasp on our lives and live with more freedom. 

Watch this video to learn how to discover this freedom for yourself.

Let us continue to come together in prayer and community, drawing closer to God and one another.

Wishing you a blessed and reflective second week of Advent. May the light of Christ's love shine brightly in your hearts and homes.
