In this booklet you will find a Prayer Service and activity suggestions for the four Sundays of Advent as we lead towards Christmas and the arrival of the Son of God to a stable in Bethlehem.
Bishop Donal McKeown, Apostolic Administrator, has chosen to write to all the faithful of the Diocese with a further missionary challenge for each one of us to step up to – to actively participate in the renewal of the Church in Down and Connor. He calls on us to be “voices of hope” for the Church and for the generations of faithful to come.
Each one of us has a part to play in building the Church of today and tomorrow in Down and Connor. We are God’s church. May we work with our clergy and with each other to make our faith communities vibrant, welcoming, and joyful.
On the first Monday of every month, we offer Mass for those struggling with addiction, their families and those who care for them.
