Advent & Christmas Schedule 2023

Gather with your loved ones this Christmas in the festive remembrance of the birth of Our Savior. Share in the traditional warmth of the season as joy fills the hearts of your family and friends.

The celebration of the birth of Christ is a special time to recognize the love and goodness of God. He comes among us; He shares our human condition; He gives Himself to us without reserve. Our prayer this Christmas is that a deeper sense of the presence of God may be born within the faith community of our Church because with Him we can do all things.

It is the beautiful task of Advent to awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus to open doors of hope.
— Pope Benedict XVI
