Gaudete (Bambinelli) Sunday - 3rd Sunday of Advent, 14 December 2025

GAUDETE (“Gow-day-tay”) is celebrated on the third Sunday of Advent.  It means to “rejoice” in Latin.  Catholics use the color Rose to indicate a joyful feast day and an anticipation of Christmas.  Rose-colored Advent wreath candles are lit and priests usually wear rose vestments, too.

The Blessing of the Bambinelli, also, takes place on the third Sunday of Advent.  The faithful are invited to bring the Baby Jesus figurines from their home Nativity sets to Mass for this special blessing on the weekend of December 13 & 14.

**A shipment of approximately 14 Baby Jesus figurines is expected to be delivered to sell in our developing gift shop.  Contact Andrea Petras for inventory. **
