Join Us For the Final Week in this 'Rejoice' Advent Series by Fr. Mark Toups

Sundays During Advent at 12:45 PM--Last Class this Sunday, Dec. 21st

St. Ann Parish Memorial Library, 113 South Kemp Street, Florence

Moderated by Deacon Bob Cox

"God invites you to deepen your trust in him this Advent season.

In this new installment of the Rejoice! series, Fr. Mark Toups guides you on a transformative journey to Bethlehem through the Sunday Mass readings. Drawing inspiration from Mary and Joseph's unwavering faith, you'll learn to recognize God’s presence even in challenging times.

Each day, in a few short pages, Fr. Toups provides you with aids to help guide your prayer:

A word - Focus on a single word each day to help you enter more deeply into the theme of that week’s readings.

A reflection - Read a short reflection and meditate on Scripture.

A prompt - Journal every day. Write down your thoughts and the stirrings in your heart as Our Lord speaks to you this Advent.

This Advent pilgrimage will nurture your ability to trust in God’s plan. Bring your fears, doubts, challenges, and hopes on your journey to the Nativity. When you meet Baby Jesus in the manger, you will be blessed with greater joy and peace—and a restful heart!
