Advent and Catholic Inquiry

Those of us who have been Catholics all our lives take the symbols and rituals of Advent for granted. But for those who are seeking to join the Church, the pre-Christmas season presents an opportunity to immerse themselves more deeply into the Catholic way of life.

They catch the spirit of joyful anticipation as they worship with us on Sundays. They are full of questions about the Advent wreath, the liturgical colors, and the meaning of the scriptures chosen for Advent. They learn the Catholic way of preparing for Christmas by participating in works of charity.

The Catholic-seekers among us can be models of wonder and awe for those of us who may have become a little less enthusiastic about the season. Invite your friends and relatives to attend Mass with you. It may refresh your sense of this meaningful time of year.

​If you or anyone you know is interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church, please call (805) 482 · 6417 x321 or send us an email to [email protected]
