We all need to prepare ... so if you are looking for ideas then see below.
We welcome examples of how you and your families are spending this time of preparation - family traditions, photos of your advent wreath or getting things ready for Christmas. Please hand in information to one of the priests, or one of the children's liturgists or email pictures or short messages to Ann-Marie (email on parish newsletter) or send detail using the contact us sheet.
For families of younger children
Each week during Advent we'll post a colouring and some ideas for things to do during Advent.
For teenagers and adults
Please see a daily reflection on our Lancaster Young People Facebook page. These short reflections ask questions and prompt us to consider how we are preparing this advent.
For those interested in art
Each Sunday we'll be posting Art and Faith reflections linked to the Gospel reading and a related piece of art work.
