December Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
The Church’s feasts and celebrations run on a yearlong cycle, which we call the “liturgical year.” The “liturgical year” starts on the first Sunday of Advent. So it’s a new liturgical year when Advent starts and Advent is a slightly different length each year.
It starts four Sundays before Christmas, but because Christmas is on a fixed date, and could fall on different days of the week; Advent can be as short as three weeks and a day (like it is this year), or as long as four weeks.
Blessings to all of you during this Advent Season. We hope it’s been meaningful and prayerful so far!
