It's not too soon to plan for Advent! St. Frances of Rome will have groups on Wednesdays to pray, read, and discuss a new resource from Ave Maria Press. Illuminate by Fr. John Nepil will walk through the Prologue to John's gospel as a way to enter the darkness of winter and emerge into the light of Christmas with the birth of our Lord.
Volunteer leaders will guide sessions on Wednesday mornings at 10:30am and Wednesday evenings at 6pm in the SFR Parish House meeting room. Groups will meet on these Wednesdays of Advent:
December 3
December 10
December 17
Pick up your copy of the book at the parish office or in the back of Church starting November 8 and 9.Â
