ADVENT PARISH MISSION 2023

OUR AMAZING GOD: DEEP HOPE FOR WEARY PEOPLE

We live in a crazy, frenzied world with everything seeming upside down!  A priest I know says in bad English, “It gets worser and worser!”

Our young people are afraid of the future.  Some married couples don’t want to bring their children into such a world.  Some people want to end their own lives.  Everything is changing.  Some people will not even buy green bananas!  Where is it all going?

Fr. Prieur thinks he has a shot of fresh hope, and it is non-alcoholic!  He is very tuned in to the “signs of the times” and knows how to put it together with handouts and pictures.  He is colourful and full of crazy and not-so-crazy stories.  He promises that you will NOT be bored!! Just come and enjoy these wonderful sessions in our Advent Parish Mission.  Those of us who were taught by him in his 50+ years at the seminary NEVER fell asleep in his classes.  And he still has his same steam at 83 years old!!
