First Sunday of Advent
Advent in 2 Minutes – from Busted Halo
What is Advent all about? How is Advent different than Christmas? Busted Halo explains the significance of this special season in the Church and why the experience of waiting, hope, and preparation is still so important in our lives today. Visit Busted Halo’s Advent Calendar for daily Advent inspiration.
Advent Gift from Fr. Walter
Parishioners of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish: You are receiving a book this Advent entitled ”I Heard God Laugh” by Matthew Kelly. This book is a gift from Father Walter Werbicki.
