We have entered into a new liturgical year and also into the season of Advent. In the busyness and distractions of getting ready for Christmas and all of the holiday celebrations, it can become very easy for us to lose sight of the importance of the Advent season and the spiritual preparation that the Church is calling us to before Christmas.   

Holy Days of Obligation in the coming weeks: 
• The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Monday, Dec. 9.
• Christmas Day on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
•The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on Jan. 1, 2025.

Bishop Golka's Reflection on Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Amedida que nos acercamos al final de noviembre, nos acercamos al final de nuestro año litúrgico y nos preparamos para comenzar un nuevo año en Cristo con el tiempo de Adviento.   

Terminamos el año litúrgico con la gran solemnidad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo, que revela mucho sobre nuestro tiempo y la misión que Jesús nuestro Rey nos confía.

As we approach the end of November, we are nearing the end of our liturgical year and prepare to start a new year in Christ with the season of Advent. We end the liturgical year with the great Solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe which reveals much about our times and the mission Jesus our King is entrusting to us.
