We would like to thank the following groups and individuals who helped plan and prepare our largest Advent By Candlelight to date! (226 Attendees!) THANK YOU: servers, hostesses, the Parish Boy Scout troop, and members of the Advent by Candlelight committee ~ Lisa Dougherty, Julie Sanclemente, Cheryl Whalen, Pat Marquis, Judy Jennings, Lisa Mages-Haskins and Gayle Baber!
This is an annual event for women that includes hors d’oeuvres, a guest speaker, songs, reflections and fellowship. Advent By Candlelight is held just before the start of Advent, to help women reflect on, prepare for, and focus on Christ before the busy holiday season.
