As we come to the close of this Jubilee Year of Hope, we take a moment to remember all that this year has brought — the challenges we have faced, and above all, the steady reminder of the hope we find in Jesus Christ.

We are delighted to share that the 2025 Advent Calendars from the Diocesan Centre of Marriage, Life and the Family are now available in English, French, and Spanish. While they are designed especially for families with young children, they can also accompany anyone wishing to deepen their spiritual journey toward Christmas.

This year’s calendar includes new ways to celebrate hope within the family: sharing stories of hope with one another, offering forgiveness to someone, and expressing gratitude.

You can find them on this Google Drive. We encourage you to print and share them in your communities so that many may be inspired by this Advent journey of hope.
