The Start of a New Year!

Hey wait a minute there Cloë, I thought it was Advent that started this past Sunday?!



That's right Tallulah. But the first day of Advent is also the first day of the new Church year.

What is a Church year?

You know the way the school year runs from September to June? Well the Church year runs from the 1st Sunday of Advent (usually the beginning of December) to the Feast of Christ the King at the end of November.

This circle shows the different seasons in the Church year, starting with Advent at the top.


 
 
Advent is a time to prepare ourselves for Jesus' birthday. Jennifer over at Catholic Inspired has all kinds of neat craft ideas to help you better understand Advent. Here are just two of her ideas.
 
 

Have fun with them. Woof!

  1. Dear Chloe, Abbey and I feel sad because Tallulah was trying to bite your ear yesterday. Are you O.k? It was nice seeing you and Tallulah yesterday.
