Seasons in the Church

Like all of nature, our Church celebrates different seasons during the year. The major seasons are Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time. Ordinary Time is the longest season.

We are now beginning Advent. It is a season of waiting and preparation. It is a season of anticipation and expectancy. It is the time that reminds us of the original coming of Jesus at Christmas and his coming at the end of time. During this season, in the midst of preparation for the Christmas holidays, we also work on preparing a place in our hearts and lives for Jesus to be born in our world within us today.

Sr. Catherine, OSB
