In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can often feel challenging to cultivate spiritual growth. Yet, it is within these very moments that we can uncover profound opportunities to grow closer to Christ.
Our Advent Parish Mission invites you to explore the sacred potential woven into your daily work, drawing you nearer to the heart of Christ during this sacred season of anticipation and hope.
Join us on Saturday, December 7th for this unique opportunity to explore the sanctifying potential of everyday work through insightful talks, prayer, and fellowship.
