Advent
THIS ADVENT SEASON, AS WE PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF CHRIST INTO THE WORLD, LET US NOT FORGET OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN NEED.
When our risen Savior returns, will he find a Church that loves the poor? Or will he find a community that shuts its hearts to families in need of safe shelter?
The answer begins with Catholics like you! This Advent, as your parish contemplates the great mystery of the Incarnation, we invite you to celebrate the season by engaging in works of mercy for the poor.
"The time of Advent that we begin again returns us to the horizon of hope, a hope that does not disappoint, simply because the Lord never disappoints! He is faithful." —Pope Francis.
GIVE A HAITIAN FAMILY A NEW HOME
Your parish, through faithful generosity and compassion during Advent can provide an answer to this family's prayer for safe shelter."
"For you have been a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in distress, a shelter from the rainstorm and a shade from the heat." –Isaiah 25:5
Recommended Gift: Any amount helps
Prepare your hearts for Christ this Advent by providing a home to a poor Haitian family. This special experience will bring spiritual enrichment to parishioners of all ages, as your prayers, fundraising and solidarity provide a tangible manifestation of the Gospel hope to which the Church has been called.
