As we enter Advent, the Church invites us into a season of hope, preparation, and joyful expectation. Advent is a time to slow down, reflect, and ready our hearts for the coming of Christ at Christmas. For our teens, this season offers a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with their faith, practice intentional prayer, and look for Christ’s presence in everyday life. Through quiet reflection, acts of service, and time spent in community, our young people can prepare their hearts and minds to welcome Jesus with renewed joy.
In the spirit of Advent, our upcoming Youth Ministry gatherings continue to focus on service, fellowship, and growing in faith together. Next week, on December 7, teens will help support our parish’s IHM Christmas Market, offering their time and kindness as they assist with the festive wrapping station. Later in the season, on December 14, we will celebrate together with our Youth Ministry Christmas Party, followed by our cherished Babysitting Night on December 20, where teens give the gift of time and care to families in our parish community.
May this Advent be a season of peaceful preparation for all our teens as they open their hearts to the hope and joy of Christ’s coming. All teens are invited to join us as we journey through this beautiful season together!
