Today and throughout the rest of November we pray
for those who have died.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.
Advent
Begins 27th November
Advent means ‘coming’. We think of the coming of Jesus when he was born but we also think of his promise that he would come again at the end of time. It is a time of waiting and preparing. It is only in the last week of Advent that we focus upon the events to be celebrated at Christmas.
The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
8th December
This feast marks the first stage of the existence of Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was ‘full of grace’ from the very beginning and
co-operated with God throughout her life.
Christmas Day, The Nativity of the Lord
25th December
On this day we begin our celebration of the birth of Christ.
