Advent
The Holy Family is knocking at your door, will you welcome them?
Every Advent is a new invitation to walk by the light of faith that Jesus brings us. Every Advent, then, should be for us a season for new possibilities and new beginnings.

About Advent Wreaths
Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a circle of evergreen branches into which four candles are inserted, representing the four weeks of Advent. The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of his second coming to judge the living and the dead.
