The Book of Prayers
Faithfully Departed Souls
As in past years, the Book of the Names of the Dead will be available in our churches throughout the month of November as we remember and pray for all the faithful departed.
The books are located on a podium near the sanctuary in each church. Parishioners are invited to add the names of their deceased loved ones so they may be remembered in our prayers during this month of remembrance.

Giving Tree
Be a part of the ministry of SVDP as we share the giving of Christmas with the children in need in our area. The Giving Tree will go up at both churches right after Thanksgiving. Take a tag, buy the suggested gift noted, and return the wrapped gift with the tag on the outside of the gift by Sunday, December 13.
This year we have 242 children that we are serving, preserving the magic of a child’s Christmas and spreading the good news of Christ’s birth and love through our generosity.
A Light the Darkness Cannot Overcome
Nine Lessons and Carols for a World in Waiting
Sunday, December 13, 2026 | 4:00 PM
Mary Mother of Peace Church | Millsboro, Delaware
In a world longing for hope, peace, and light, we invite you to step away from the busyness of the season and enter into the quiet beauty of Advent.
Join us for A Light the Darkness Cannot Overcome, our annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, an inspiring service of scripture, prayer, and music that traces God’s promise of salvation and the joyful anticipation of Christ’s birth.
Featuring our parish choirs, handbell choir, cantors, and guest instrumentalists, this special afternoon will offer moments of reflection, beautiful seasonal music, and opportunities for all to join in song.
All are welcome! Bring your family, friends, and neighbors as we gather in hope and prepare our hearts for the coming of Emmanuel—God with us.
