As we enter the Third Week of Advent, we are reminded that true joy comes from Christ, who is near. This joy is reflected so clearly in the teens of our parish – their energy, generosity, and faith-filled participation bring such joy to our whole community.
Over the past few weeks, both Confirmation groups have gathered for meaningful sessions. Year 1 attended the Mass for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception together and explored how to live Advent with hope, peace, joy, and love. Year 2 spent time reflecting on the theme of waiting – waiting during Advent as we prepare for Jesus’ birth and waiting with Christ during Eucharistic Adoration. Their reflections and conversations were truly inspiring.
As we continue through this joyful week of Advent, we look forward to celebrating together at our Youth Ministry Christmas Party on Sunday, December 14 th , supporting the Food Pantry with another delivery on December 17 th and serving our parish at Babysitting Night on Saturday, December 20 th .
May the joy of Christ fill the hearts of our teens and our entire parish this Advent season.
