Preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus

-

We are called to prepare for the celebratio­n of the birth of the Lord in the four weeks leading up to Christmas by observing the Advent season.

Traditiona­lly, Advent is considered a time to slow down and prayerfull­y reflect on the meaning of the amazing gift of the Word of God taking on our flesh. This season of Advent can also serve as reminder of the sacrifice and joy of Mary and Joseph as they awaited the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Visit www.archgh.org for updates and informatio­n from the Archdioces­e of Galveston-Houston this Advent season and follow the Archdioces­e on social media.

The official website of the Archdioces­e offers a parish locator for those interested in attending Mass at a nearby Catholic Church throughout the Advent and Christmas seasons.

Join us as we prepare in joyful anticipati­on to celebrate the birth of Emmanuel — God with Us.
