PARISH ADVENT SERIES: THE FOUR LAST THINGS

These meditations will be given on December 5th, 12th, and 19th in the Church at 8:00 p.m. as part of Adoration. Instead of the Advent Penance Service, a priest will be available for Confessions on these Thursdays from 7:00-8:45 p.m.
CHOIR-CHRISTMAS MORNING MASS
For Adults who wish to sing for the Christmas Morning Mass, we will have rehearsals on the Third and Fourth Sundays of Advent after the 10:00 a.m. Mass. If you need to miss one of the rehearsals, that is alright since we will be keeping things simple. We hope you can join us. Call the Beyer Family at 859-283-0610 or 859-802-1476.
