For three Mondays in Advent, join women of the parish and friends for prayer and time to just be creative. Come to one session or come to all, which are presented by FirstFruits.
Each week, we'll begin with prayer and reflection as we ponder the weight of Mary’s wait for the birth of our Savior and how her example can be an encouragement during this season of anticipation. Following our reflection, we will be led by different local artists/experts to create gifts that can be given to someone on your Christmas list or to yourself!

Other Advent Activities:
Fr. Justin kicked off Advent with a talk on "the nature of what it means to be a Christian." In the talk, he asked us to consider "how does our faith really shape our lives for the better, if we are not merely giving lip service to Christ for one hour per week."
