The lives of the saints inspire us, especially when we are struggling to find our way. The saints whose feast days we celebrate in Advent are no exception. In fact, it is during this season that we discover the real Santa Claus, a missionary priest, doctor of the Church, visionary, bishop, pope, martyr and a couple of Marian feasts that both teach and inspire. The list below features saint feast days during Advent with additional information and traditions associated with each saint. Visit the USCCB website to find daily Mass readings and video reflections. You might also like our resources for an Advent calendar.
The feast of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary acknowledges that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was conceived without original sin. To learn more, visit the Catechism of the Catholic Church (490-511). This feast is a holy day of obligation to attend Mass.
