Can You Prepare Your Heart MORE than Your Home?

The Advent Dare

Jesus is Coming.

Is your heart ready?

The month before Christmas doesn’t have to be a rush! As Catholics, Advent encourages us to slow down and prepare. In fact, by living our faith, we can be an example to the weary world and people around us. Don’t worry, Christmastide lasts 20 days after December 25th! Come prepare with us - then come celebrate with us!

There is an overview of our season here and more details below.

The Gratitude Challenge

Gratitude is a great way to prepare our hearts for Christmas - Eucharist means “thanksgiving” after all. Join us for a daily gratitude reflection from fellow community members, the prompt, a countdown and the daily Psalm.

Advent Through Scripture

If you’re looking to dive a little deeper this Advent, use an ancient prayer tool called Lectio and Visio Divina to enter more fully into the weekend scriptures. We’ve provided a couple of options for you with text from the United States Bishops.
