"Advent" comes from the Latin word adventus, which means coming---
A time to reflect on the coming of Christ at Christmas and at the end of time. During Advent, the Gloria is omitted.
The priest wears violet vestments, except on the third Sunday,
when rose-colored vestments are used.

The Advent Wreath has a candle for each Sunday of Advent,
representing Peace, Hope, Joy and Love.

The Knights of Columbus are also asking for toys for needy families.
