Parents of six children and recent converts to Catholicism, Rebecca and Stephen Grabill co-authored a beautiful book titled “The Joy of Advent.” They wrote it for themselves and their children. They wanted to live each day of the Advent season with intentionality and to extend Christmas through Epiphany as the early Church did. More than that, they wanted their children to grow up knowing – and understanding – why we celebrate Christmas at all. The Grabills joined us at St. Robert of Newminster on Sunday, Nov. 9 to share from the book about their Advent family traditions, about their journey to joining the Catholic Church, and to help prepare and inspire us for our Advent journey.
