Peru, December 3, 2023 – Rev. Scott Seymour lights a candle on the St. Augustine’s Parish Advent Wreath at 9:30 mass this morning. Christians of most denominations observe Advent as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas and the return of Christ at the Second Coming.

Father Seymour asked parishioners to use this expectant waiting time for prayer, repairing broken family relationships, volunteering, and visiting or sending cards to homebound or lonely people. He said, “Tell them you are thinking of them and praying for them.”
