From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

Despite the cancellation of many in-person Christmas traditions due to the ongoing pandemic, the Catholic Courier's annual digital Advent calendar will continue in 2020, with the hope of reaching those looking for new traditions to share while staying at home.

The saints-themed calendar, available at CatholicCourier.com/adventcalendar2020, starts Nov. 28 and will feature 28 windows hiding multimedia "treats." Visitors will be able to open a new window each day through Dec. 25.

The calendar will feature some surprises related to saints whose feasts are celebrated during Advent. The calendar also will include cooking and craft videos, Sunday Gospel readings and reflections on various topics.
