Parish Bulletin Article: "Parish Event during Advent": 12-10-17

I hope that each of you can make it to a powerful event during Advent.  Advent is a season to open your hearts to listen, pray and discern how to receive your deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.  And why not do this a few days before Christmas?
We will be gathering on Tuesday, December 19th at St. Thomas Aquinas parish.  This will begin at 6:00pm including a talk from Hannah Milani—a great faith formation coordinator in Virginia.  A few years ago she taught our kids through a Tutus Tuus retreat and now she is an amazing evangelist and disciple to follow her mission from Christ.
We will also be able to pray with praise and worship music with Justin Kostecka.  His talents—guitar and vocals—will set up a beautiful situation in God’s house, especially when Jesus Christ will be our central image through Eucharistic Adoration.
During this evening I hope that you can bring your sins into the light of our Savior.  I pray that dozens and dozens of you, brothers and sisters, will come back to our King and soak in his forgiveness, mercy and love.  Whether you haven’t been to a confession last week or decades ago, you are only a few days away and a few minutes into a 100% forgiveness event to confession.  And yes, we will have other visiting priests to support your sacrament to your King.
Please come to this event, as it will only prepare your heart to get ready for Christmas!
God Bless!
