Rossland religious community unites for Advent season

On Dec. 2, 2010, the religious communities of Rossland came together to celebrate the Advent Season at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with a musical and prayerful event.

On Dec. 2, 2010, the religious communities of Rossland came together to celebrate the Advent Season at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with a musical and prayerful event.

This is the seventh year that this ecumenical event has taken place in Rossland on the first Thursday of Advent, and it is already scheduled again for this coming year.

The choirs from the Catholic parish and from the United Church are regular performers, and in some cases, others have also joined us in the singing.

Many Rosslanders volunteer to make this evening special, and I would like to acknowledge their efforts and enthusiasm.

A collection of money is invited during the service, and this year over $460 was donated to the Rossland Food Bank!

Many thanks to all who participated in organizing and performing , and to everyone who attended!

We look forward to seeing you on Dec. 1, 2011 for the Advent Music Celebration.
