Advent Vigil Night of Prayer

Saturday, December 2, 7 – 9 PM

Drawing from prayer traditions of both the Christian West and East, Rome and Byzantium, we will be “breathing with both lungs of the Church” in joyful expectation of the Messiah. The night will consists of Adoration, the prayer of the psalms, meditation on ancient Advent readings, and a powerful 6th century Byzantine chant named Akathist to the Theotokos. See more details on Facebook.

Psalms, Readings, and Adoration

Monday, December 4, 7 – 8 PM

Come, meditate on the Scripture and the ancient Church writers in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Penance Service

Tuesday, December 5, 7 – 9 PM

What better way to make your heart ready for Christmas than to go to confession? We will have multiple priests available that night to make sure that everybody can experience God’s healing presence through the sacrament of reconciliation.
