Hello Families! I want to thank Mike Chamberland from Bold Ministries for the wonderful retreat he presented to our Confirmandi and their parents. It was a wonderful experience for us all.
This weekend the Faith Formation is launching our 2 big fund raisers to help assist in our special programing events. There are gift card forms available in the Gathering Area to help you with your holiday needs and gift giving. We will also be selling Flowers Cards from Merri-Craft Flowers. These cards also make great gifts!
This Sunday begins our liturgical season of Advent. Consider the Catholic alternative to Elf on the Shelf like the Advent Angel that leaves messages from God and encourages acts of kindness. The Advent Angel keeps the same sense of Christmas magic but with a more positive twist. The Advent Angel represents clear Christian symbolism, and there is the connection to the angels in the biblical accounts of the Annunciation and the Nativity. You can use any angel, even one made of paper that your child can color. The angel can leave a book about angels; suggest advent acts of kindness; suggest watching a Christmas story; leave messages, treats, or gifts for your child. Each day the angel can move closer to your Nativity set. Make your own rules: the bonus of creating your own family’s Advent Angel. Happy Advent!
Partners in Faith,
Phyllis Chudzinski
