Advent begins this coming weekend (November 30 & December 1)! Preparing for Christmas can feel overwhelming. Between gatherings with family and friends to shopping for the “perfect” gifts, we can lose sight of the reason for the season…preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Take a journey with us this Advent. Together, we’ll make it the holiest Advent ever.

The Magnificat Advent Companion
|
Make sure to grab your copy of the Magnificat Advent Companion from the Gathering Area. This rich spiritual companion will accompany you like a beloved friend through the four weeks of Advent with poignant scriptural reflections for each day of the season. This invaluable little booklet promises to bring you ever closer to the One who promised: I am with you always (Mt 28:20).

A detailed Liturgical schedule is posted on our Advent at SRN page, but here’s some highlights for this season. Contact the Parish Office with any questions at ParishMail@StRobertChurch.org or (616) 676-9111.
