Advent is the start of a new church year... happy new year to all!
These 4 weeks are a time of expectation, waiting and preparing for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas, but there's more... it's also a time to remember that we are also waiting and preparing for Christ's return.
That's a lot to think about!
That's why there's a retreat being planned. A retreat is time to take a break from the concerns of everyday life and think on all this.
We're very blessed to have Rev. Bill Burke (National Director of Liturgy from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops) as a retreat leader this year!
The retreat takes place at Good Shepherd Parish (7900 Naples in Brossard).
Sunday, Dec. 5th at 2:30 pm
Monday, Dec. 6th at 7:30 pm
Tuesday, Dec. 7th at 7:30 pm (with a Eucharist, and refreshments following)
Come to all 3 days, or just to one, (or maybe, 2!) and get some insight into the "meaning of the season".
Spread the word! This Saturday is our annual Christmas Bazaar.
It takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
As well as being an important fundraiser for the Parish, it is a great opportunity to get together.
As always, there are fun children’s activities AND delicious apple pies - available while supplies last!
There are also some new tables which you might find interesting.
PLUS: in addition to our usual great raffle table, there is a SPECIAL raffle that gives you the chance to win a 46” flat screen Sony TV just in time for Christmas (drawing on Dec. 19th) Maybe you have some friends and family interested in buying tickets for that!
See you there!
