Advent Resources 2019

ByMission Together

Advent 2019 begins the Year of the Word, The God Who Speaks, an initiative Catholic Bishops’ Conference. In support we’ve revised our Advent liturgies, to encouraging deeper exploration of seasonal scriptures.

You can find our St Nicholas resources on this webpage too, for a catechetical spin on the Santa Claus story.

To address the spiritual, educational and medical needs of this growing community, Missio supporters contributed funds for the construction of a church. The Holy Family Church has become the hub of the village. It’s a space for people to live their faith on a daily basis, as well as providing education classes and a medical clinic within its walls.
