Advent and Lenten Missions

“For this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to my voice" John 18:37

Advent is a time of preparation and anticipation, as we wait joyfully for the coming of the Christ-child. The season of Advent marks a new year in the Church calendar and invites us to begin anew, change our lives, and grow closer to Christ through the gift of His Incarnation.

Lent is a time that challenges us to follow Jesus more closely through prayer, fasting, and doing good works, as we walk together on the path to Jerusalem, remembering the Passion of the Cross and preparing for the ultimate gift of salvation!

This year, considering hosting an Advent or Lenten mission with these gifted Catholic speakers and performers - to help the Body of Christ renew their spirit, strengthen their faith and transform their hearts.
