Message from Father Thu – 12/7/25

Second Sunday of Advent Cycle A

We have entered the second week of the Advent Season.  John the Baptist prepared “the way of the Lord” by calling the people to repentance so they would not be “thrown into the fire” of the “coming wrath.”  John announced impending judgment and offered a baptism of repentance.  John also announced the One to come who would enact that judgement and bring a baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire.  The fire of judgment will destroy those who are fruitless; the fire of the Spirit will help the faithful bear good fruit.  Advent is, in the end, about jumping into the fire.

Come and celebrate the solemnity of Immaculate Conception on Monday December 8, 2025, at 8AM English Mass and 7PM Spanish Mass.  Don’t forget to come and prepare through the sacrament of Reconciliation offering the following days of this week: 9th, 11th, and 16th of December beginning at 6:45PM in the Confessional Room.

Noveva continues from 3rd of December till the 11th in Church beginning at 7PM except on the 6th and the 8th at 6PM.
