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.
