Our Lady of Fatima Parish Advent “Mission”

In place of an Advent Parish Mission this year, I am inviting our parishioners and guests to participate in a spiritual journey called “The Search.” At all Masses this weekend, we are distributing copies of the book, “The Search” by Chris Stefanick. This book accompanies a series of 30minute videos that are accessible through our parish subscription to Formed (go to www.formed.org to set up your personal log in at no cost).

For the past several months we have lived with unprecedented changes and unprecedented challenges, not least of which has been the social upheaval caused by the coronavirus. But there are even more fundamental questions perhaps tugging at our hearts. Who am I? Why am I here? What do I want? How do I relate to God? “The Search” is a search for meaning and for answers to these and other questions.

During this Advent season I invite you to join “The Search” and discover a greater understanding of your own life, and a greater appreciation for others who are likewise engaged in a search for meaning.
