Lighting the Advent Wreath
During Advent, we kept up our community’s tradition of praying together & lighting the candles on our Advent wreath. Each Sunday, as we gathered for lunch, we first paused to pray and light the candles of Peace, Hope, Joy & Love — a beautiful tradition that continued to guide us through this sacred season.

Sharing the Gift of Presence This Christmas Season
“Christmas, after all, reminds us that God chooses a human setting to reveal himself.
He does not use impressive scenery, but a simple home; he does not show himself from afar, but draws near; he does not remain in an inaccessible place in heaven, but reaches us in the very heart of our little stories. In this way, he reveals to us that everyday life – just as it is – can become the place where we encounter him.”
Pope Leo XIV
