Journey through Advent & Around the Advent Circle have CHANGED. After many years as a writer, Scripture scholar, teacher, and theologian, Art Zannoni has retired from this ministry. We are so grateful to his contributions to The Pastoral Center over many years and wish him well! We will now offer a single annual seasonal eResource—the NEW Journey through Advent/Lent—written by Ann Naffziger and in both English and Spanish. Those who have used Around the Advent/Lenten Circle, The Catholic Way, or her seasonal booklets will be familiar with her relatable and thought-provoking reflections and questions.

Weekly discussion guides for the Sunday readings of Advent • Year C (Advent 2024) Edition

PLUS an easy-to-follow leader's guide

Print double-sided on 8.5" x 14" paper (legal size in the U.S.) and fold once to make booklets for each week. OR print as 8½" x 11" packets.

This reproducible eResource provides both content and faith sharing starter questions for small groups during Advent. The Sunday readings come alive in this resource, helping participants integrate them into their daily lives.

Beautifully illustrated and laid out, this resource will find its way into many areas of parish life. Each includes:

  1. Opening prayer
  2. Conversation starters for reflecting back on the last week
  3. Scripture readings from the Old and New Testaments
  4. Reflections with insights on the readings and how they may speak to us today
  5. Questions for reflection and conversation
  6. Closing prayer

All elements of this eResource are reproducible and you get a license for use in your own parish. You may also email the elements of this to people who must miss a meeting, or to leaders as they prepare.

    Our group gathers once a week at a home where we use the material given. The material and our discussions makes our Christmas journey more spiritual and brings us closer to the birth of Jesus.
