About the event
This fourth‑week‑of‑Advent gathering helps you and your family arrive at Christmas with a ready heart. With Mary and Joseph, we wait in joyful hope for the coming of the Saviour. Expect carols, Holy Mass, adoration focused on the Incarnation, and a teaching on hospitality and reconciliation as Christmas approaches. Priests are available for confession; blessing for families and children; and a simple home liturgy you can pray on Christmas Eve. Bring a friend who is curious or returning to the Church—this is a warm, welcoming day. As we prepare the manger of our hearts, we ask Emmanuel to dwell with us and to bring His light to every home in Melbourne.
