Welcome to Adore, the De Mazenod Family Advent Program for 2025, and to the Year of Matthew in the liturgical cycle, Year A.

This document contains the complete Adore Program. It has been written in four separate sessions, with each “Week” being an individual topic, focusing on the themes of the four candles - Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.  While the program is written in 4 individual sessions, this shouldn’t restrict your thinking on how you can best use this resource within your community or for your own personal formation. You can run the program in your local community, use it with your family, or participate individually as time allows. 

This Advent, we hope this program allows you time and space to forget about the busyness of our daily lives, and to stop and prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord!

If you require any additional assistance on how to use the program within your community, have any questions or need any extra resources – e.g. PowerPoint, extra readings, etc. please contact the De Mazenod Family Team – demazenodfamily@gmail.com.
