“I say to you: watch.” (Mark 13:37)

Join us the weekend of December 15/16 and every evening December 17-19 for our Advent mission, led by Fr. Alan Piper, O.P. There will be Confession available at 6:00 p.m. each night, followed by the Mission at 7:00 p.m.

Fr. Alan Piper is the oldest of four children and was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where he attended the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. He earned a BA in philosophy and theology from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, and a PhL from the School of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America. Before entering the order he taught at a high school in Manchester, New Hampshire. “I joined the Dominicans because I wanted to live intimately with God, to live among brothers who want the same, and to speak about God to others. I was first drawn to the order by the example and teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas.”
