Dear Saint Bernadette Catholic Community,
As we approach the blessed Advent season, I would like to share with you some of the meaningful initiatives and events that await us in December. This season calls upon us to reflect, prepare, and extend our hands in compassion to those in need, embodying the spirit of giving and community that defines our parish.
Firstly, I'd like to highlight our upcoming Hamper Drive, running from December 1st to 15th. This initiative aims to support families in need within our community. Classes will be collecting items during this period, and we encourage everyone to participate generously to bring hope and comfort to those who require our assistance.
Moreover, mark your calendars for our Family Advent Carol Night scheduled for December 14th at Saint Augustine Church, commencing at 6:30 PM. Further details about this heartwarming event will be sent your way soon. Let's gather as a community to celebrate the joyous melodies that resonate with the Advent season.
