Christ Centered Silence

Christ has come. Christ is coming. Christ will come again.

Christ comes to us now as we celebrate this Mass and    enter into the season of Advent. As we do so we invite all parishioners to enter into a short period of silent prayer and saying

“Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.”

Should you be delayed in arriving for the start of Mass, we ask you to remain silently in the back of the Church so as not to interrupt this silent prayer time.  You will be invited to find your seat as we begin our opening hymn.

God speaks to us in the silence of our heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.

St. Mother Theresa

Children have an inborn sense of awe and wonder.

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd provides a pathway to enable children to come to know Jesus as one who knows their name and cares for them. They know this not simply in an abstract, conceptual way but through an experiential way which embraces their whole being. This opens the way for them to come to know the mystery of God’s great love for them.
