Welcome – Advent
Advent is the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year
and our season of preparation for the celebration of Christmas.
It is a period of spiritual renewal while we await the anniversary of the birth of Jesus.
In this season of renewal we are invited to reflect on the meaning of the coming of Jesus into our world.
A time to ask ourselves how Jesus is born in our lives each day.
This period of reflection can help us discover some of the Hope, Peace, Love and Joy symbolized by the candles on the Advent Wreath.
Making us ready to truly celebrate Christmas.
