1st Sunday of Advent
This Sunday we begin our new Church Year and our waiting for the birth of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Advent wreath is blessed, the first candle is lit and our prayer is that God will soon be born among us. Advent gives us 4 weeks in which to prepare for Christmas in a spiritual way. Consider attending the weekday Masses, receive the sacrament of Confession (Reconciliation), all great ways to prepare the way of the Lord.
Dec 8th - Hour of Grace
In one of her appearances to Sr. Pierina in Montichiari, Italy in 1947, Our Lady asked that she be known as the 'Mystical Rose' and that on Dec 8th every year, an 'Hour of Grace' be kept at noon in all the Catholic Churches of the world. That many spiritual graces & physical blessings will be received by those who pray, undisturbed, during this hour. In response to our Lady's request, an hour of grace, in which the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed, will be held in Glengoole Church next Sunday, Dec 8th at 12 noon.
