At Christmas, we celebrate the moment God entered our world—when the Infinite became an Infant, when the Bread of Life was born in the “House of Bread.”
Join us for a powerful 2-day parish mission this Advent and discover the deep connection between the Nativity and the Eucharist, and how the Mass is the ultimate celebration of the Christmas season: Jesus Christ still coming to be with His people. -
