ADVENT
As we commence our Advent journey, we are invited to enter a season of reflection, expectation, and preparation for the coming of Christ. The first candle of Advent, often called the Prophet’s Candle, represents hope—a hope deeply rooted in God’s promises and the words of the prophets from the Old Testament, fitting significantly with the coming year. Pope Francis has given 2025 as the Jubilee Year with the theme of Pilgrims of Hope.
We will hold our Advent reflection as Pilgrims of Hope on Thursday, 5 December, at 7.30 pm in the Parish Room at Sacred Heart.
