Lent

2/17/2024 - 3/17/2024

The season of Lent lasts for forty days (excluding Sundays). This forty-day season of Lent is a time of fasting and repentance. It is a time when we recall Jesus’ forty days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness. Throughout these forty days, remember where we are going. We are headed toward the cross and empty tomb of Jesus. We are headed toward Jesus’ victory over sin, death, and the devil.

Transfiguration

2/11/2024

We commemorate the event of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This event is significant as it reveals Jesus' divine glory to his disciples Peter, James, and John. This is an opportunity for us to reflect on the identity and mission of Jesus Christ, affirming their faith in him as the divine Son of God and Savior of the world.

Ephiphany

1/6/2024 - 2/26/2024

The presence of a deity among mortals is called epiphaneia in Greek. The same term denotes a king's visit to a favorite city. He was greeted with pomp and circumstance. Days were spent feasting and reveling, all to the detriment of the king. The Lord's significant presence to His subjects with signs, miracles, and gifts was offered at His own cost. That is known as the Epiphany of Jesus. The magi, or the assembly of the gentiles as God's creatures, are the focus of Epiphany. It is all for our Lord's Baptism, who prepares the waters of Baptism for us.

Christmas

12/23/2023 - 12/31/2023

During the Christmas season, we commemorate the day that Christ became one of us, we honor the mystery of heaven found in Christ's creation. We rejoice in the miracle of God becoming a man in Christ, our King, and Servant.

Advent

12/2/2023 - 12/23/2023

Welcome to the season of waiting! Not only is Advent a period of preparation for Jesus’ first coming at Christmas, but this sacred season readies our hearts for Jesus’ ultimate coming: when He, as King of kings and Lord of lords, returns in power and glory on the Last Day, when every knee will bow before Him and every eye will see Him as the One who reigns in sovereign majesty over all things.
