Advent Calendars

The tradition continues! The Little Flower Advent Calendar Sale is set for Nov 23 and 24. We will be selling calendars after all Masses and at the CDA bazaar. 

Parishioners can buy a calendar for their family and friends or buy one to be donated to children in need of Christmas cheer (distributed by the hospital and local charities / organizations that serve families). 

This year we are also taking money raised and buying Christmas items for St. Vinnies and FISH of Albany. The girls will prepare the gifts and have a part in delivering/distributing them. 

We are exited to get the parish involved in spreading love and joy this holiday season!

Introduction to the Life and Works of Saint John Henry Newman

Saint John Henry Newman has been called "the most important theologian since Saint Thomas Aquinas" and the "secret influence" on the most important theologians of the 20th century. But, at the same time, we are talking about a circumstantial writer: Newman was not a desk theologian but a pastor and reformer inspired by faith and his experience of the power of the Christian message, whose writings always responded to the needs and challenges of his epoch. He is a saint, and the study of his life and writings will give us access to a deeply vital and renewed look at our faith.
