FORMED Video of the Month for January – St. John Nepomucene
This powerful documentary captures the transformation of individuals living on the streets that the Christ in the City missionaries encounter and showcases a new approach to the rising crisis of homelessness.
The film’s videographer spent a year with the missionaries, providing a rare opportunity to see the incredible impact they have on the lives of those they serve. Through their unique relational approach, Christ in the City is changing lives and offering hope to those who have lost everything. This film is a must-see for anyone who wants to understand the root causes of homelessness and witness the power of human connection in addressing this critical issue.

December Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
The Church’s feasts and celebrations run on a yearlong cycle, which we call the “liturgical year.” The “liturgical year” starts on the first Sunday of Advent. So it’s a new liturgical year when Advent starts and Advent is a slightly different length each year.
It starts four Sundays before Christmas, but because Christmas is on a fixed date, and could fall on different days of the week; Advent can be as short as three weeks and a day (like it is this year), or as long as four weeks.
Blessings to all of you during this Advent Season. We hope it’s been meaningful and prayerful so far!
