Throughout our province ministries, there will be many Advent Liturgies, Prayer Services and Celebrations as we prepare for Christmas. Our Ellicott City, MD shrine ministry – The Shrine of St. Anthony – held an Advent Family Festival, on Saturday, November 27th, ending with an Advent Vigil Mass at 3:00 p.m. Participants made Family Advent Wreaths, enjoyed treats & fellowship, took a wagon ride tour of the property and even had a special visit from St. Nicholas.
Be sure to check out our province “Locations” page on this website to find a ministry near you, so you can join our friars in the preparations of Advent.
