Dear Women of the Guild,

As we prepare for the season of Advent, let us focus on the beauty of the season with hope for the future and love for one another. And to all the ladies of the Guild, have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for sharing your gifts of time and talent and helping to create a faith filled community full of friendships.

Before we turn the calendar

Please join us for the Advent Candlelight Church Program next Thursday. A great way to focus on the real reason for the season.

And if you still need a few more Christmas gifts, stop by FHC Knitters' POP-UP SHOP on December 10th after the morning masses. Wonderful items for all ages and great stocking stuffers!

Looking ahead to 2024
