Family Advent Activity Basket
Advent—the 4 weeks before Christmas--is one of the most important and meaningful seasons of our liturgical year.  This year we are beginning a new tradition for observing Advent with prayers, activities, and crafts at home.  Sarah Prevelige is leading this initiative. Watch for more information.


Creation Care Tip of the Week:  Don’t shop till you drop
Do I need it?  Can it be recycled? Is there a more environmentally friendly option? Am I making the best use of what I already have? Can I share from my bounty with others and give rather than acquire?
