SEASONAL


As we experience the four weather seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall (Autumn), Winter there are Seasons of Faith.

Our Faith Seasons begin with the preparation for and the Birth of Jesus – Advent and Christmas.

Epiphany marks the beginning of Jesus’ teaching with His Baptism.

Lent is  a time of reflection reminding us of Jesus’ time in the dessert and being tested by Satan.

This reflection prepares us for Easter, the death and resurection of Jesus.

The balance of the year is ordinary time” or Pentecost.
