ADVENT
CALENDARS
There are
plenty of Advent Calendars around with Nativity Scenes rather than Peppa Pig,
The Gruffalo, Barbie, Spiderman etc. You can buy religious Advent calendars
from several supermarkets and online and from shops including Judges Bakery.
The best we’ve seen are from the Aid to the Church in Need website. Also,
don’t forget to ask for religious Christmas stamps for your post. Let’s keep
Christ in Christmas!

A THOUGHT
People may
doubt what you say,
but they will
believe what you do.

PALLOTTINE
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Give us eyes
capable of seeing Jesus Christ, give us ears to hear his word, give us hearts
that
are touched by
him.
St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Divine Love, pray for us.
