Advent ushers in the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year and invites us into a season of anticipation, hope, and faith-filled reflection. It’s a sacred time for preparing our hearts to welcome Christ anew at Christmas and to ponder His promise to return. This year, Advent begins on Sunday, 1 December 2024, and as we journey through this season, we’re invited to walk together in “Faithful Steps, Hopeful Journeys,” the SMCDSB theme for 2024-25. Advent encourages us to take each step with purpose, embracing hope and joy in the waiting, and growing in our faith as a community.
Don't forget to go to the Virtual Chapel for additional prayers.
