Advent 2022

Preparing to Celebrate the Gift

As we prepare to receive the wonderful Gift of our Father this Christmas, let us use this season of Advent to deepen our relationship with Him. Use the resources collated below to help you and your family in your liturgical and spiritual preparation. This page will be updated regularly as we include more content, so do check back for the latest updates.

Advent Resources

Make this Advent season a time of deep reflection using this resource from the Office of the New Evangelisation. Gather with family and friends, parish ministries or neighbourhood Christian communities to pray, listen to the Word of God, reflect and share. It may also be used for individual reflection.
