The First Sunday of Advent
Advent 2014
The beginning of the Church’s New Year.
The colour on the sanctuary has changed from green to
PURPLE.
The Advent Wreath, which will be blessed this weekend, has five
candles above it: three purple,
one pink and one white;
reminding us there are four weeks in Advent before Christmas Day. The pink is lit on
the third Sunday, Gaudete - rejoice, and the white one is lit on Christmas Day.
This weekend we light the first purple candle on our Advent Wreath
During Advent we will sing the Penitential Rite, the Gospel Acclamation
and the Holy Holy. At the sign of peace we will sing Emmanuel.
Sign of Peace
Emmanuel. Emmanuel. His name shall be Emmanuel;
God with us. Revealed in us. His name shall be Emmanuel.
Miraculous Medal
New Altar Servers
Children who received their first Holy
Communion earlier this year, will be
enrolled in the Miraculous Medal next
Sunday 7th December at the 11am Mass.
The children are asking Our Lady to
sponsor them for life.
Our new young Altar Servers are being
officially accepted as servers this weekend.
Walk with Me
The Advent Prayer Book is now available and a Prayer Card - 1 per family please.
At whichever Mass they attend their red
cassocks and white cottas will be blessed.
Thanks to Mary Park who looks after the
altar clothes.
