Advent
Beginning the Church's liturgical year, Advent is the season leading up to the celebration of Christmas. The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. Advent devotions remind us of the meaning of the season. Visit our Advent Web pages to view resources that will enrich your Advent experience including a weekly radio retreat, daily prayer and reflections, Nativity Collection photos, and feature articles.

50 days of Easter
He is Risen - Alleluia! The Easter season within the Church is a period of fifty days dedicated to “learning the mysteries”, or mystagogy. For both the newly baptized, the neophytes, and for the entire community, it is a time to grow in deepening our grasp of the Paschal Mystery. The Easter season is, with the exception of Ordinary Time, the longest liturgical season. It is different from the rest in that, rather than preparing for a feast, our aim is to prolong the one we just celebrated.

Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross are meant to help people to make in spirit, as it were, a pilgrimage to the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death, and this has become one of the most popular of Catholic devotions in the season of Lent. Take a virtual walk through our online Stations of the Cross. The photos for this feature are from Good Shepherd Parish in Berlin, New Hampshire.
