BREAKING NEWS……..MARK HART IS COMING TO FIRE UP OUR ADVENT MISSION!
I am very excited to announce to you this breaking news which will mark the culmination of our thirty-day Journey Toward Holiness Campaign. For the last twenty-five days, you may recall, we embarked on this journey through various means proposed to us such as attending Mass frequently, going for confession at least once during this period, coming for adoration, sharing the inspirational messages we released twice a week, smiling more, and being more patient with one another, among other things. As we come to the end of this particular campaign on this coming Tuesday, the eighth of December in 2020, I hope this meritorious habit we have built will continue and facilitate our ultimate journey towards heaven.
As I have already shared with you several times, we will conclude our campaign with our Advent Mission on the last two days of this journey. So please, I invite you to join us on December 7 and 8 for this special event with Mark Hart beginning each night at 6:00pm in the Church. For those of you who will not be able to attend, we will also livestream the sessions on our St. Andrew Facebook (facebook.com/SaintAndrewAZ). Note that the livestream will not be available after the sessions.
For those of you who do not know, Mark Hart is a very funny and deeply inspirational speaker you will not want to miss. Currently, he is a full time Chief Information Officer and Executive Vice President of Life Teen, which is a Catholic Youth Ministry Movement currently being implemented in 1800 parishes in thirty countries worldwide. He is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and a best-selling author of over a dozen books, a popular speaker and SiriusXM radio host. His wildly popular DVD study series, “The 99,” "Altaration", "Encounter" and "T3" are currently utilized in homes, youth groups and classrooms across the globe. Mark and his wife, Melanie, have three daughters (Hope, Trinity, and Faith) and one son, Josiah. They live here in Phoenix, Arizona.
On another note, in response to many of you, I am happy to announce the re-opening of our St. Andrew Gift Shop beginning this Sunday, December 6 from 9:00am to 11:30am. For the safety and convenience of everybody, however, I will request you to follow the protocols that will be in place as you do your shopping. I am grateful to Michelle Gonzales and her team of volunteers who have offered to provide their time and talent for the service of our parish through this ministry.
-Fr. Robert
