St. Ignatius Advent Calendar

As we enter this holy season of Advent, let us prepare our hearts with hope, peace, joy, and love.

In a few short weeks, we will celebrate the wondrous birth of Christ - the Light who comes into our world to fill our lives with grace. Advent invites us not only to prepare our souls for this sacred celebration, but also to let Christ’s love and compassion shine through our daily actions.

This year, we invite you to join our parish in following the Advent Calendar through simple and thoughtful acts that help us pray, find peace within, and reach out to those in need. Many immigrant families in our country face the rising cost of living, loneliness, and uncertainty. Even the smallest gestures: A prayer, a donated item, a kind message, a moment of listening, can bring comfort and dignity to those who feel unseen.

Let us walk together in faith, preparing a place for Christ in our hearts by caring for our brothers and sisters through each week’s Advent invitation.

May each day of Advent draw us closer to the joy of Christmas and the love that Jesus came to share with the world.

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
