IHM ANNUAL ADVENT GIVING TREEWhoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,PROVERBS 19:17
and he will repay him for his deed.
For many years IHM has supported the St. Francis Center in Redwood City during the Advent Season through our Annual Advent Giving Tree. In 2020, the needs of these families are more dire than ever. This year has also been difficult for many in our community. We ask that despite our own challenges, we support the St. Francis Center in their mission of supporting at risk families in living with dignity.
Due to Covid-19 health and safety concerns, IHM is implementing a virtual, contactless Giving Tree to assist the St. Francis Center in helping these families. IHM will collect the donations and send a check in the total amount to St. Francis Center. There are two ways to participate:
1) donate online using link below (preferred) or
2) drop off a check in the Rectory mail slot located outside the
Rectory front door. Please make checks payable to IHM Church Giving Tree
The Giving Tree donations will be collected through December 8th.
St. Francis Center Mission Statement:To provide the opportunity for families living in North Fair Oaks and surrounding communities to live with dignity while accessing essential services and becoming self-sufficient members of the community.

Pastor's Corner
Sunday, November 29, 2020 The First Sunday of AdventDear Parishioners and Friends,
On the first Sunday of Advent the Church begins a new Church year. The Advent season is clearly derived from the Latin word advenire, which is a dynamic, active coming. In the history of salvation God has revealed to us that He comes as the God-man in three specific ways: 1.) The First Coming at the Annunciation at the moment of His conception, and then made manifest at His Birth; 2.) He always stands ready to come into our pure hearts here and now; 3.) He will return at the end of the world. This is His Second Coming.
