Here is my homily from the Second Sunday of Advent and as Advent continues, I ask you to join me at St. Simon Parish for the next evening of prayer as we explore what it truly means to find joy in this sacred season. I will guide you to notice where joy is already present and where God is inviting more of it into our lives. All are welcome. Joy awaits.

If you are in the area, we’ll gather again Tuesday, December 9, at 7PM in the Church for 75 minutes of respite, reflection, and renewal. This session will also be livestreamed at St. Simon's Presents.

Here is my homily from the Fist Sunday of Advent and as Advent begins, I ask you to please join me at St. Simon Parish for three prayerful evenings as we explore what it truly means to find joy in this sacred season.

If you are in the area, we’ll gather on Tuesday evenings – December 2, 9, and 16, at 7PM in the Church for 75 minutes of respite, reflection, and renewal. The sessions will also be livestreamed at St. Simon's Presents.
