DECEMBER CHRISTMAS EVENTS
CHRISTMAS SUNDAY LUNCH DEC 7th
3rd (Gaudete) Sunday of Advent A 2025
The O Antiphons
From 17th December (Greater Advent), we turn our attention to Christmas. From 17th to 23rd December use the ‘O Antiphons’ to prepare us. They describe who the Messiah is and what his mission will be. We often sing a version of them in the hymn ‘O Come, O Come Emmanual’, but they date to at least the 6th Century. This year’s Advent Talk will be based on the ‘O Antiphons’ - Mass at 11am and 6.30pm on Monday 15th December, followed by the talk.

From the Finance Committee:
By custom, the Christmas Eve / Day collection is your personal gift to Fr. Simon who does not receive a salary from the diocese and relies on your generosity in these collections. You can make your Christmas offering by:
• Cash (using the Gift Aid envelopes) in the baskets following your Christmas Mass.
• Using the gift aid-able ‘CHRISTMAS’ category on ‘Contactless Card Reader’.
• By BACs into the parish account, adding the reference ‘Christmas’, so we can identify it as a gift for Fr. Simon. If you have a standing order, this is your offertory to the parish and cannot be transferred to Fr. Simon.
