Advent

Unfold the anticipation of the season with our beautiful selection of traditional Symbols of Advent - Advent Wreaths, Candles and Advent Calendars. As the flames flicker, let them guide your reflection and encourage you to slow down in preparation for the coming of the Light of the World. Each of the four candles symbolizes a Sunday in Advent, reminding us to turn our gaze towards the approaching celebration of Jesus' birth.

Advent marks the beginning of the new liturgical year. At the end of the seasonal year, we in the Church, celebrate a new year as Christians! Advent is a powerful time of preparation as we anticipate the coming of our Savior, when the Creator became one of His creatures in order to lift us up! During our preparation during Advent we remember that Jesus will come again as the one who judges the living and the dead. In order to step away from the frantic consumerism we see around us during the Christmas season, the Catholic Faith Store offers aids for Advent to remind us of the spiritual truths of this season.
