Advent Resources

This year’s Advent theme is The God Who Speaks – through the Prophets.

They are available here to download or, if you prefer, on a CD, which you can order from the Department for Spirituality. If you would like further ideas on how to use the resources, please do not hesitate to contact the Department.

The God Who Speaks – The Year of the Word

From 1 December 2019 through to 28 November 2020, the Bishops of England and Wales are inviting us to spend a Year learning to listen more closely to The God Who Speaks.

To help parishes and partnerships prepare for the official launch on the First Sunday of Advent, from 30 September, we will begin making more information and resources available.

A wealth of information is available now through the Bishop's Conference website.

Booklets will be appearing in parishes soon and there will be more events, ideas and resources to come!
