Advent Resources

Advent consists of the 4 Sundays leading up to Christmas and marks the beginning of the new liturgical year.  The word “advent” comes from the Latin word adventus which means "arrival."  It is a time of remembrance and expectation as we celebrate the first coming of Jesus Christ, and eagerly await His second coming.
