Advent 2025 Newsletter
Dear friends in Christ,
Advent is the start of the new Church year, marked by a shift in Gospel readings (we are entering Year A which is the Gospel of Matthew), a change in liturgical colors (purple) and a time when we prepare ourselves for Christmas, aka the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, by trying to slow down and allowing some space for prayer and reflection in our lives. As you enter Church during this season, maybe take a moment to prepare for worship with a prayer, some breathing or just allow yourself to be still. Every day in Advent you can read or listen to the Advent reflections, written by parishioners and based on the theme saying yes to God. On Wednesday evenings in Advent you can join in evening prayer as a mid-week time for prayer and reflection (and special music).
However you are able, we encourage you to slow down, take each day of Advent as it comes as we wait in anticipation for love coming down at Christmas.
In peace,
The Mothers
