Every year on one of the Sundays of Advent, families bring the figure of the Baby Jesus to St. Peter’s Square in Rome for the Pope to bless. It is called “Bambinelli Sunday”. Many homes in our parish still give a central place to the crib among their Christmas decorations. On Sunday 17th December we invite you to bring the Baby Jesus from your home to any mass in Ennis Parish and they will be blessed
by the celebrant.
