Catholic Bishops' Interactive Advent Calendar

Consider using the internet to deepen your relationship with Jesus this Advent season. Young children will feel the anticipation of Christmas when clicking open the online doors of this advent calendar. Family-friendly reflections from the shepherds of our faith in the US include ideas like this one, slated for Christmas Eve:

Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Advent

  • Finish decorating your Christmas tree and light it as a symbol of Christ, Light of the World.
  • Reflect on how your family can bring light to others as agents of the New Evangelization.
Links to educational resources will challenge adult Catholics to a deeper understanding of our rich faith tradition, enabling them to pass their faith to their children more authentically. Additional Advent resources for families are also found on the same webpage.
