Advent & Christmas 2025

At Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, we believe that Christmas is a time of joy, hope and generosity. It’s a time when we come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate gift of God’s love. As we begin Advent to prepare for this special season, we invite you to join us in our Advent & Christmas celebrations and consider supporting our mission of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to a world in need.

Our Advent & Christmas schedule is filled with inspiring events that bring the spirit of this sacred season to life. We have planned a series of faith and fellowship that offers space for reflection, worship, community and transformation. Let’s be Companions on the Journey this Christmas:
