Advent Reflection Books
Books are available for Adults in English & Spanish (and some are for children) in the Gathering Space beginning Tuesday, November 21 while supplies last.
Memorial Ornaments
Ornaments are sold out at this time (we’re so sorry)! Keep an eye on our website to see if we are able to get more in.
Giving Tree
Each year we put trees in our Gathering Space. On the trees are tags that have an item that is requested to help support an individual or family in need.
Through the generosity of many parishioners and visitors who select a tag, Christmas joy is given to those in need who would not be celebrating Christmas without our help!
The trees will be in the Gathering Space on Monday, November 20. All items must be returned by Thursday, December 7. See our website for details on how you can help!
