Advent is a season of preparation and reflection, hope and anticipation as we await the coming of Christ. Just as we celebrate the first coming of Christ at Christmas, we continue to look forward to his second coming at the Last Judgment and the fulfillment of history.
We invite you to prepare spiritually for Christ’s coming with us at St. Mary’s.
