Celebrate Advent

The Fourth Sunday of Advent, observed on December 21 in 2025, focuses on the theme of love (or sometimes peace), lighting the final candle—often called the “Angel’s Candle”—to symbolize God’s profound love for humanity and the angels’ announcement of Christ’s birth, as we prepare for Christmas with all four candles (hope, peace, joy, and love) now glowing.

Sunday Mass
