• Laetare Sunday also known as Rose Sunday

On Rose Sunday the priest wears rose colored vestments.  Also known as Laetare Sunday or Mothering Sunday. 

Mothering Sunday is in honor of our Mother Church and The Blessed Virgin and also a time to honor all mothers.

Fr. Justin blesses the women of the church thanking each one for their service to the church and to their families and gives each one a flower.

 

Parishoner Betty Josephson was unable to be with us for Laetare Sunday but  we were able to bring the flowers from Fr. Justin to her.

Jesus Loves the Little Children!

 

Let us not lose sight of what we are really preparing for this Advent Season.

Fr. Don reminds us that we are each responsible for what goes on in our own lives.  It takes an effort to put our lives in order

to be ready for Christ to come into our hearts and our lives. 

Stop!  be aware of the clutter in our lives and keep the pathway clear for the coming of Christ!
