Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As the season of Advent begins, we are invited to pause and enter a time of holy waiting – a journey that awakens our hearts to the coming of the Lord.
Join us for a five-day Advent Recollection Series within our 12:00 noon Mass, from December 1–5, to be led by Fr. Nelson Orqueta.
Under the theme “Advent: Journeying from Longing to Fulfillment,” we will explore how our human longing, waiting, and desire can open our hearts to encounter Emmanuel – God-with-us.
Each day’s reflection will unfold one step of this sacred pilgrimage:

🕯️ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟱 – 𝗘𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗹: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲
Let us come together as one community of faith, preparing room in our hearts for Christ who comes quietly yet powerfully into our midst.
May this simple noontime recollection deepen our longing, strengthen our hope, and fill our waiting with joy.
Come, and let us walk this Advent journey:
from longing to fulfillment,
from darkness to light,
from hope to Emmanuel.
“The Lord is near. Rejoice in Him always!” (Philippians 4:4)
