Pastor’s Notes

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior!

As the Christmas season approaches, it brings with it a time of reflection, joy, and profound gratitude. In this season of Advent, we are reminded of the greatest gift ever given – the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a time to celebrate the hope, peace, love, and joy that comes from God. Advent is a time of longing for the Lord to come. In Advent, we not only recall the longing for the coming of Christ 2024 years ago, but also the coming of the Lord in our life.

Your presence in advent adds to our joy! We strive to create a welcoming and nurturing environment for all who walk through our doors, and we hope you feel the love and fellowship of our church family in our various liturgical activities. Once again, we come to this very special time of the year in which we celebrate and appreciate the birth of Jesus Christ. In this season, we do our best to reach out and be a blessing to our families, as well as others who mean a lot to us. As Christmas approaches, we wanted to take a moment to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Always remember that you are not alone and that you are an important part of our church community.

There are many ways to be Advent people, with a variety of liturgies for this season. We surely can find one meaningful to us and by our efforts of four weeks, bring to birth a bright image of the long-awaited Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Fr. Cruz
