Christmas Mass Times

The Third Sunday in Advent - REJOICE -17th Dec

This upcoming Sunday, we celebrate “Gaudete Sunday,” the Third Sunday of Advent. 

The Latin word Gaudete means “Rejoice!” On this day, we rejoice in the nearness of the celebration of Christmas. To signal this, rose vestments may be worn by the celebrant, instead of the typical violet for Advent. 

Also, the third candle on the Advent wreath is rose coloured. Rose signifies joy. 

 We are called to be “perfectly holy.”  Following God’s will and allowing His grace to transform us leads to true happiness. Let us, seek Him, trust Him, and obey Him to find the deep joy that can only be found in God.
