Dear parishioners
What are you going to do for spiritual formation this Advent? The season starts next weekend so now is the time to make a decision.
The parish is offering various Advent formation opportunities:
FAMILY ADVENT WREATH. Candles can be purchased this weekend and a prayer sheet is also available.
ADVENT RETREATS. November 30 for women and December 6 for men. Register through the QR code on the posters in the foyer.
ADVENT GIVING TREE. Purchase a gift for a needy family. The giving tree will be available on December 1.
CONFESSION. The parish penitential service will be held Friday December 13 at 7 pm. Check the poster for the dates of penitential services at other local parishes.
FORMED VIDEOS. Check out the Advent video recommendations for children and adults.
SIMBANG GABI. Nine special evening masses on December 15 - 23 at 7 p.m. The first five masses will be held at All Saints Parish while the last four masses will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. There will be special preaching, lively music and sometimes receptions.
Advent, this powerful liturgical season that we are beginning, invites us to pause in silence to understand a presence. It is an invitation to understand that the individual events of the day are hints that God is giving us, signs of the attention he has for each one of us. (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI)
