Solemnity of Christ the King

Image
The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925, originally on the Sunday before All Saints Day. Pope St Paul VI in 1969 moved it to the last Sunday in the Church’s year. It acclaims that Jesus’ victory over sin and death confirms his identity as King of heaven and earth. By following him as disciples, we participate in his Kingship now and forever.

Jesse Tree Kits for Advent

Image
The Jesse Tree is an ancient tradition that tells the Christian story in pictures from creation to the birth of Jesus. Just as we decorate our Christmas tree, we decorate our Jesse Tree to honour the ancestors of Jesus and his family in preparation for his coming at Christmas. Families attending Zacchaeus Treehouse this Sunday are welcome to take home a Jesse Tree Kit. During Advent, which begins next Sunday, they are invited to place the 24 symbols on the Tree as an Advent family prayer. It is a great way to prepare for Christmas as a family.
