Our parish Jesse Tree – Your family is invited to add your own ornament to our parish Jesse Tree! The Jesse Tree will be outside the main doors of church on the First Sunday of Advent and will remain there throughout Advent. The Jesse Tree is a tradition whereby the ornaments of the Jesse Tree tell the story of Jesus’ ancestors from the Old and New Testaments. The Jesse Tree is named after Isaiah 11:1: “A shoot shall come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.” Click on the link below to learn more about the Jesse Tree. The article gives you Scripture references for each ornament as well as ideas for ornament making. Families registered in religious education will receive an email with more information. https://www.loyolapress.com/catholic-resources/ liturgical-year/advent/the-jesse-tree/ Religious Education at home, Sundays, November 22 & 29 – Religious education is parent-directed on November 22nd and 29th.
