I am looking forward to singing and playing this evening for this special prayer service that is close to my heart…
For some people, the Advent and Christmas season do not feel like “the most wonderful time of the year.” Seeing families smiling in front of Christmas trees and hearing “Joy to the World” can sometimes leave those of us who are grieving feeling even more alone and out of place at this time of the year.
While our Christmas traditions are beautiful, these celebrations can exacerbate the pain that we feel when we have experienced the death of someone who has held an important part in our lives. Our parish would like you to know that we see you and support you, and welcome you to be with our Blessed Heavenly Father in this season in your own way.
A “Longest Night” Prayer Service will be held here at St. Joseph Parish of the Panther Valley on Monday, December 21, 2020, at 6:00pm.
On December 21st, the Winter Solstice will begin, with the longest night and shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
