THE FESTIVALS OF THE CHRISTIAN YEAR
Our liturgical calendar follows the course of the Incarnation of Christ Jesus into the world of human beings and nature, and the birth of the Spirit within individual human beings and communal life. The festivals are celebrated year after year to allow an ever deeper relationship to the Christ mystery and the renewal of human and social life. We invite you to celebrate with us!
Advent
The four weeks of preparation for the birth of love, light and renewed life in the being of the Christ child
Christmas
The celebration of the birth of the One who comes into the world to save humankind
Epiphany
The Light of Christ enters the earthly world and walks among us as the Star of Grace
Trinity (the in-between time)
We pray to the triune God who gifts us with being, creating power, and spiritual illumination
Passiontide (Lent)
The four weeks of entering into the depths of human suffering as Christ experienced it, and walking with him as he unites himself with us
Easter
The festival of the Resurrection! Over the forty days of Easter, the Risen One teaches the disciples about the Kingdom of God

(Trinity — the in-between time)
