Confession before Christmas is encouraged in Catholicism to purify the soul and embrace the spiritual renewal symbolized by Jesus’ birth. It allows believers to reflect, seek forgiveness, and reconcile with God, fostering a deeper connection to the essence of Christmas. By acknowledging shortcomings and receiving absolution, one enters the season with a cleansed spirit, ready to embrace the significance of Christ’s arrival. It embodies the spirit of repentance and prepares the heart to fully appreciate the transformative message of hope, love, and redemption that Christmas represents, fostering a meaningful and spiritually fulfilling celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Join us for Compline on the Sundays of Advent, 3 December – 17 December, at 7p.

The official public night prayer of the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours, Compline is a time where we gather as Christians to examine our conscience, sing psalms with their proper antiphons, and listen to the Word of God.  The highlight of the service is the Anthem to Our Lady, in which we process to the Lady Altar and the faithful are sprinkled with Holy Water.

St Joseph’s Day Potluck Brunch

St Joseph’s Day Potluck Brunch

by | Mar 14, 2017 | Christian Formation, Events, Liturgy, Parish Life, The Latest

We interrupt the austerities of Lent to celebrate the Solemnity of St Joseph, spouse of Our Lady.  Joseph was an ordinary manual laborer, descended from the royal house of David. In the designs of Providence he was destined to become the spouse of the Mother of God. His high praise is expressed in a single phrase, “Foster-father of Jesus.” About this Sacred Scripture has little more to say than that he was a just man – an expression which indicates how faithfully he fulfilled his high trust of protecting and guarding God’s greatest treasure upon earth, Jesus and Mary.

Although, the Solemnity of St Joseph is transferred to Monday the 2oth, we will still honor him on Sunday, 19 March, with a Father’s Brunch.  Bring the favorite dish of the father in your family to share with your parish family.  There will be crafts for kids and opportunities for Fathers to take fun photos with their children.  We will also be taking donations for our new Holy Family Foster Closet.
