Tomorrow in The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd we will have a Celebration. We'll begin with a procession of singing and musical instruments, the children will place the purple cloth, Scripture card, Advent wreath with candles, Holy Bible, and statue of Mary on the Prayer table. We will light one purple candle on the advent wreath.

We will sing "Light one candle for hope, one bright candle for hope.
                       He brings hope to every heart. He comes! He comes!

Followed by the "Advent Wreath Song," and Scripture Reading,  and sing "Come Lord Jesus"!
