Jesse Tree
Looking for a new Advent Tradition? The Jesse Tree is a wonderful Advent tradition to prepare for Christmas. The Jesse Tree is an Advent tradition named after Jesse, the father of King David. Biblical symbols representing the ancestry of Jesus, either in faith or bloodline, are added one by one onto a tree. As each ornament is added, a Bible verse is read to explain the symbol. There is one ornament for each day in Advent.

We invite you to join in a Jesse Tree ornament exchange. To participate, you make 34 copies of a single ornament. We will meet before Advent to do a simple exchange and everyone will end up with 34 unique, handmade ornaments – ready to begin their Jesse Tree on the first Sunday of Advent. Even if you have no knowledge of the Jesse tree, join in - we'll walk you through everything. For more information and to select a symbol for your ornament, please contact Erin Schmidt at erinanddave@yahoo.com or 816-822-9417.
Presentation on New Missal: On the First Sunday of Advent of this year, the prayers of the Mass will change throughout the English speaking world. What the priest says and what the people say will sound different. You can click here to download a PDF copy of Fr. Paul’s presentation from Sunday.
