As the season of Advent begins, we want you to know of our constant prayers for you and all those whom you love. The lights of the Advent wreath glow brighter week by week in contrast to the darkness of the night. They are a reminder to us of the coming of the true light into the world - Christ - who dispels all darkness and brings everything into being with him.
We also want to welcome you to some of the Advent opportunities for prayer and spiritual growth starting with with our Advent Speaker Series which begins tomorrow night, Tuesday, December 2, 2025 from 7:00pm to 8:00pm in the old chapel at Saint Andrew (south east corner of Addison and Hermitage). More information is below as well as opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration during Advent starting this Friday.

Friday Adoration
The holidays can be busy and hectic which is even more reason to slow down and spend some time in prayer before the Eucharist. Join Saint Andrew Parish on Friday nights in Advent starting Friday, December 5 at 7:00pm for a holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament. Additional dates for adoration include Friday, December 12 & 19.
We hope you'll join us for some or all of the opportunities above as we prepare for the coming of Jesus in the celebration of Christmas!
