Advent is a season of anticipation and hope as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus. One beautiful St. John Paul II Parish tradition to mark this sacred time is the Advent wreath, a meaningful symbol of the four weeks of Advent. Crafted with evergreen boughs and four candles—three purple and one pink—the wreath serves as a reminder of the light of Christ coming into the world.
Join Parish Life and Faith Formation for a special event to create your own Advent wreath for your home. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, share in the Advent spirit, and create a cherished tradition.
