Today, November 27, is the first day of Advent. Each Sunday preceding Christmas, an Advent candle is lit representing the virtues Jesus brought us.
The Advent season is a time of preparation for our hearts and minds for the birth of Jesus on Christmas day. The first week of Hope reminds us of the assurance we have that God will fulfill all his promises through the birth of Jesus.
Happy Thanksgiving, from our St. Michael family to yours!
