~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
Fourth Sunday of Advent
Brothers and Sisters,
At Christmas we call to mind the joy of the birth of Christ. As the Gospel of John describes, ‘The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.’ Christ is our light shining in the darkness of this world, and the darkness cannot overcome him.
As we look beyond Christmas to the new year ahead, may we rededicate ourselves to his service. May Christ, the light that enlightens us, shine not only in our hearts but outward into the dark places of the world around us.
May you have a blessed Christmas and a fulfilling 2026.

Every blessing,
