Every Mass begins with an opening prayer called the collect. It is called the collect because the priest is “collecting” the hearts and prayers of the whole congregation into prayer at that moment, with the invitation, “Let us pray.” The collect sets the tone for the entire Mass and gives us a focus for our prayer. These prayers, drawn from the heart of the Church in the Mass, will become the heart of our Lenten devotional this year. Click here to view the daily Lenten devotionals.
We are currently accepting applications for handmade crafters and artists vendors to join our annual Advent Market to be held on Nov. 21. We only accepting applications for outside vendor spaces.
