The Season of Advent is the beginning of the Catholic Churches Liturgical year. 
It lasts for 3-4 weeks including the four Sundays preceding Christmas. This year Advent begins Sunday, December 2nd. Advent has a two fold character:
As a season to prepare for Christmas when Christ's first coming to us is remembered.
As a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ's Second Coming at the end of time.  It is easy to pass through Advent without embracing the joyful time of preparation that it is. This year we call each of you to more fully celebrate the season of Advent.  
St. Mary's is offering you several paths to more fully celebrate the season of Advent.
