Message from Monsignor Miller

Dear Friends:

Advent begins November 27th this year. No matter how many Advents have come around in our lives, the
anticipation and promise never grows old. We have many events planned to make the preparation for Christmas both spiritual and enjoyable. Please take advantage of these opportunities to focus on the true meaning of the days ahead.

Sincerely yours in Christ—Msgr. George Miller
