With the season of Advent fully here, we’ve got several up-coming activities to help you fully enter into this time of preparation.

• Tuesday, December 8 – Immaculate Conception. You are invited to join us at Mass for this Holy Day.  We will not have a regular Ya2acht Club event.  Masses are at 7:00 am, 9:15 am, and 7:00 pm.
• Tuesday, December 15 – Around the World. There are a multitude of ways that people around the world celebrate Christmas and other feast days during December.  Tonight we’ll look at a few of them.  You are invited to come ready with stories and experiences of such traditions from your own background.  If  you wish, you are welcome to bring treats.
• Tuesday, December 22 – Tacky Christmas and Treats. Nothing says Christmas in quite such a special way as all those applique sweatshirts and sweaters with bells.  Tonight you are invited to come wearing the tackiest Christmas attire you can hunt down.  You are also asked to bring a treat with you to share.  We will have our festive gathering at 7 pm in the youth room.

The details for the Bolivia Service Trip are posted on the Special Events Page.  Registrations are due December 16.

Contact me if you have any questions.
