There's something to please everyone at the free Christmas Concert on Friday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m. in the OLA Auditorium. Sing along to traditional carols, popular hits and children's favorites. This is a gift from The Messengers, the talented and playful ensemble that serves our 5:30 Saturday evening Mass.

Thank you to the generous OLA donors who are supporting Angel Tree, Adopt-A-Family, Knights of Columbus Christmas programs, and the Alternative Gift Market. Deadline for the Alternative Gift Christmas Market is Dec. 21 at the parish office. All of these programs help make the season brighter for those in need.

During Advent Mary teaches us to hold on to the hope we have in God’s love and to be ready to do our part, as followers of her Son, Jesus. We don’t have to put on special glasses or search far and wide to find the meaning of the season, just answer the call of our baptism. Click the headline to connect to more Advent...
