Advent can often feel like a countdown to Christmas, a time of frantically getting ready for the holidays. In fact, this liturgical season is all about waiting—not for a short-lived celebration, but for a person. Waiting doesn’t need to be passive. It can be active preparation, a beautiful opportunity to open the door of your heart to welcome Jesus into every part of your life. This Advent, join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he shows you how to invite Christ in and share in his lasting peace. Click here for more information!

Waiting Well is a prayer journal designed to help you slow down for 10 to 15 minutes
a day during the Advent season. Through Fr. Mike’s daily reflections, you’ll learn how
to joyfully anticipate Christmas, so that when Christ comes, you’re ready to meet him in
the manger.
If you, or your family, would like to attend, please pre-register so we can order the necessary material. You may contact Sarah at the parish office at (920) 788-9061 or send her an email at szteske@stjn.org.
