It is important during the time of Advent that everyone dedicates more time to prayer, penance, charity work and reading the Bible. We encourage all parishioners to attend the sacrament of confession before Christmas.
The Finnish and Swedish Caritas organize a fundraising during the time of Advent. This Advent campaign supports our neighbours in Bangladesh, Kenya and Nepal.
