Gaudete Sun 17th Dec the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Gaudete means “rejoice” and on this Feast Day we rejoice because we are almost at Christmas, the day where we celebrate the coming Jesus into the world, the greatest gift we have ever been given. To mark the Feast, our parish will join with parishes around the world, in celebrating the tradition of Bambinelli Sunday. We invite each family in the parish and their friends/families to bring the figurine of Jesus from their family crib to either mass, where they will be blessed and returned to you for wrapping and placing under your tree until Christmas Eve/Day.
