Welcome to our Advent journey 2024, a season to reflect, pray, and live our faith with hope. As we look forward to the Birth of Jesus and the opening of the Jubilee Year of Hope by Pope Francis and the launching of our own Jubilee celebrations, on December 29th at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh, we remember Pope Francis’s message that “Hope does not disappoint.”

This Advent young people from the Archdiocese of Armagh offer simple daily reflections, moments that allow us to pause, connect with God’s love, and renew our individual and collective hope here in the Archdiocese of Armagh. Together, as “pilgrims of hope,” may we support one another, grow in faith, welcoming the joy and peace Jesus brings.

May this Advent season draw us all closer to the heart of Christ, as we prepare to welcome Him anew.
