Advent season begins after this Sunday, the Solemnity of Christ the King. Our PREP children started making Christmas cards that will be given to those in care homes and in prisons, to bring them joy and love on Christmas Day! We started a PREP parents' program where they can socialize while the children are in their catechism classes. They get to watch videos to help them grow in faith and love for God and one another.

"I made my first film about an old woman who, on her knees, climbs the steps of the great St. Joseph's Oratory that he built and I lived on the same street that he lived on when I first moved to Montreal. And yes, he's my favorite saint. He was a humble porter who sent thousands of people to be healed under the watchful eye of St. Joseph." - Fr. Larry Lynn.

We see ignorance and evil creating chaos in this horrible episode of the murder of the Holy Innocents. Herod's actions are the definition of darkness.
We see ignorance and evil creating chaos in our world today. It is the ignorance and the evil that approves & encourages abortion and euthanasia. How can there be peace.
