Blessing of Cribs on Bambinelli Sunday, December 15th at 12pm Mass

Blessing of Cribs Takes Place This Year on December 15th

The blessing of  Bambinelli (the Baby Jesus) was first initiated By Pope John Paul II, when children in Rome were invited to bring the Baby Jesus to be blessed on Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent.

To mark Bambinelli Sunday,  we invite families to bring their cribs to the 12pm Mass on Sunday, December 15th for a special blessing. This is a lovely way for children to connect the cribs in their homes with the celebration of Christmas in the Church.

All are welcome.
