'Lord our God, with the birth of your Son, your glory breaks on the world. Through the night hours of the darkened earth, we your people watch for the coming of your promised Son. As we wait, give us a foretaste of the joy that you will grant us when the fullness of his glory has filled the earth, who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever. Amen.'  'Christmas' comes from the old English 'Cristes Maesse', the 'Mass of Christ', c1038.

Advent Penitential Liturgies (Advent page)

Advent, like Lent is a good time to sort out our closer following of Christ (Fr. Philip). Advent is a joyful time of preparation for the coming of Christ. A figure helping us in this is John the Baptist, calling all to repentance. One of the ways to prepare is a celebration of the 'Life Giving' sacrament of Penance / Confession / Reconciliation 

######### Penitential Confessions after 10 a.m. Mass on Thursday 21st

If it's some time since you've been and can't remember the procedure, please don't worry: the priest is there to welcome and help you. It's a uniquely beautiful thing to hear the words of God's forgiveness through the priest and experience the total, interior, peace of conscience that Jesus wants for us all. |  Reconciliation info page
