On Saturday, December 6th, South West Connecticut Area members and guests gathered at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Stamford for a beautiful morning Mass celebrating Advent and the Feast of St. Nicholas. The Mass and reflection were led by Msgr. Rob Kinnally, whose thoughtful and inspiring words invited all present to reflect on the spirit of generosity, hope, and preparation that marks the Advent season. In keeping with the Feast of St. Nicholas, small gifts were shared with all attendees, adding a joyful and meaningful touch to the celebration.

Following Mass, everyone was invited to enjoy a light breakfast and coffee, creating a warm and welcoming opportunity for fellowship and conversation as the community continued the celebration together.

A special thank you to our Hospitallers, Maureen Considine and Erika Morro, and to all members of the hospitality team who so generously provided the breakfast items and helped make the morning both welcoming and memorable. Thank you as well to all the participants who purchased gifts for families in need, which will be distributed at the Three Kings Celebration at St. Peter’s in Bridgeport.
