Advent

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. Your donation improves living conditions, strengthens rights and gives people a chance to remain in their homes safely and with dignity. You can send your donation directly to Caritas bank account, through MobilePay or to a collection box at the back of the church.
