Welcoming in the New Year

As we enter the death of the old year and the birth of the new, we consider Our Lord as the dawn rises above 2025 as our light for the times ahead.

So, for that reason, we will do Compline (night prayer) and spend time before the Blessed Sacrament contemplating the year that has gone and the year to come with all its promises and hopes.

Concluding with the Blessing for the New Year and all of those gathered there with Benediction. Deo Gratias
