Advent Memorial Mass and Celebration
December 20 @ 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Celebrate the Advent season with Archbishop Smith at Gardens of Gethsemani for an afternoon of faith, remembrance, and fellowship.
Begin with our Christmas Tree of Remembrance, where families can honour a loved one by placing a personalized ornament bearing their name on the tree, accompanied by Christmas carols.
At 1:00 p.m., Archbishop Smith will celebrate Holy Mass, offered for those buried at Gardens of Gethsemani and St. Peter’s Catholic Cemeteries during December.
Please note: Our December Memorial Mass will take place earlier than usual, replacing our regular last-Sunday-of-the-month schedule.
After Mass, stay for fellowship, hot chocolate, and Christmas cookies.
Schedule:
- 12:30 – 1:00 p.m. Christmas Tree of Remembrance & carols
- 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Holy Mass with Archbishop Smith
- 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Fellowship, hot chocolate & Christmas cookies
All are welcome!
