Welcome to CIAdvent 2009. All the team in Church Support and Catholic Ireland wish you every blessing as you use this these materials as part of your preparation for Christmas. We hope that you will be challenged to see things differently! Our material is organised through the Advent wreath and you can reach it by clicking on the Advent Wreath link on the home page.
Each weekday provides a pictorial thought for the day. Just click on the door for the day to see it. You can click on any day up to the current date to view the pictorial thought for the day.
Each Sunday and Christmas day, we encourage you to take a little extra time out. The candle for each Sunday lights up to show that you can click on it. When you do this, you are given two choices. Presiders will find resources for each week by clicking on the Presiders' resources link on the home page.
