Talk on Advent and Christmas

Greetings everyone!

The parish has invited Father Ignatius Huan from the St. Francis Xavier Seminary to give 2 talks centered on the topic of Advent and Christmas.

Details are as follows:

Day / Date

Friday, 23/11/2007 and 30/11/2007

Time

2000hrs to 2200hrs

Venue

Church of St. Francis of Assisi

Cost

Free of charge!

The talks are open for all to attend. It is hoped that everyone will make an effort to come and attend the talks.

Let us do something beneficial for our faith this coming holiday season. How many of us actually know the purpose and meaning of Advent?

Christmas in the world today has become too commercialised. The treasures and festive lights of the secular world are not eternal and will fade one day.

May God the Almighty, open our senses to appreciate the true treasures and hold the light of Christ in our hearts; a light that will never be extinguished.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~ Matthew 6:19-21

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." ~ John 8:12
