The Advent season is a time of preparation and joyful anticipation, but it can also be one of the busiest and most stressful times of the year. Join St. Joseph Catholic Church on Wednesday, December 2, at 6 PM for a special Advent Mission with Catholic speaker and author Gary Zimak, known for his work helping people overcome anxiety, worry, and stress.

Through practical, Scripture-based guidance, Gary will share how to make room for Jesus amid the busyness of the season and discover the peace that comes from trusting in Him. Drawing on the message of his book, Find Peace in Advent! 4 Weeks to Worrying Less at Christmas, this mission will offer encouragement and practical ways to approach Advent with greater faith, peace, and trust in the Lord.

Gary is the author of 14 books, including the bestseller Give Up Worry for Lent. After a 30-year career as a software developer, he dedicated himself to full-time Catholic speaking and writing. He frequently speaks at parishes and conferences nationwide, is a regular guest on Catholic radio, and hosts a weekly podcast.

Come prepare your heart for Christmas and discover how to find peace in the midst of the Advent season. All are welcome!
