Advent Prayer Tree

This Advent our youth students will be selling ornaments before and after Mass for $5 each for you to add your prayer intention to, then we will be putting them on the Advent Prayer Tree all throughout Advent and into the Christmas Season.  If you or you have a family member that are unable to purchase them before or after Mass, we will also be selling them online at:  https://givebox.com/adventprayertree
 

December 3, 2023;  First Sunday of Advent

“Be watchful!  Be alert!  You do not know when the time will come.” 
-  Mark 13:33

We all take things for granted.  In particular, we take time for granted.  We make our lives too busy.  We plan our days, weeks, months, even years in advance.  Remember, our time on earth is a gift.  None of us knows how long we will be here.  Start today and begin thanking God for each and every day.  Take time in silence, every day, and listen to how God is calling you right now to help build His kingdom on earth.

Mass Intentions can be given for many reasons, such as anniversaries, birthdays, healing, deceased people, etc.  If you would like to request a Mass Intention, please leave your requests in the collection basket along with $10.00 per request, or come to the office and talk to Donna about your special requests, along with $10.00 per request.
 

Married Couples Retreat:

All married couples in the Diocese of Crookston are invited to a married couples retreat weekend December 1-3rd, 2023, at the Diocese of Crookston’s Pastoral Retreat Center. This marriage retreat will be led by Six Stone Jars’ Deacon Ben and Jennine Seitz. This retreat will not only give married couples the opportunity to spend time with each other, but also grow closer in their relationship with Jesus Christ. This retreat will be centered around “The Virtues: Building Blocks for Great Lives and Joy Filled Marriage.” Couples may sign up at www.sixstonejars.org.

​

Altar Society:  Thank you for your donations to the Bakeless Bake Sale.  We raised $2,095!  This money will be used to support various parish needs (or work of the parish) such as kitchen supplies, religious education, various charities, and to help with the parish budget.

ADVENT

Purple (or violet) has traditionally been the primary color of Advent. (First, Second and Fourth Sundays)   It is the color of royalty and the sovereignty of Christ. The presence of purple demonstrates the anticipation of the coming King.
