Advent Outdoors!
The Grafton Catholic Youth Group is doing something exciting this Advent Season at St Mary’s!
We are going to “light up” St. Mary’s with outdoor Christmas trees and an Advent wreath on the front lawn. There will be trees in Mary's Garden as well.
The goal is to bring this season out to our Parish community, especially for those who are not comfortable worshipping inside.
The lights will be on from 4pm - 10pm every night from Nov. 27th through New Year's. There will be benches to sit and reflect or pray for a few minutes.
See our ongoing photo album here.
We will be lighting a candle on the Advent wreath each Friday night at 6:30pm. There will be a short praryer before the lighting, followed by an outdoor activity. We hope you can join us on one or all of the nights.- Friday, Nov. 27th - the Candle of Hope - Carolling in front of the trees
- Friday, Dec. 4th - the Candle of Love - Making a craft to be mailed to the Homebound (Parish Hall and other classrooms as needed for social distancing)
- Friday, Dec. 11th - the Candle of Joy - Hot chocolate with candy canes and S'mores around seveal firepits
- Friday, Dec. 18th - the Candle of Peace - A Chirstmas movie in the upper parking lot with popcorn (bring your own chair/blanket). If weather is not ideal, it will be with a limited number of people in the Parish Hall.
