On Sunday November 29th we will celebrate the first Sunday of Advent in the Atrium at 9:00 a.m. All religious Education families are invited to participate in the procession and changing of the liturgical colors. Our celebration will last about 45 minutes. We hope that you can make it.
As you know the first Sunday of Advent is the first day of the year in the Catholic Church. It is our New Years Day of sorts. There are 4 Sundays before Advent so the season can last anywhere from 22 to 28 days. In 2009 Advent will be 26 days long. Since Advent is the season of preparation for Christmas, the color of the season is PURPLE.
Two great ways for your family to celebrate the Advent season are the Advent Wreath, and the Advent Calender. We can also prepare our hearts for the Lord’s coming with prayer and fasting.
