Dear Friends,
Youth Ministry

Mary Poppins Play
A special thanks to the full cast of Mary Poppins for three wonderful performances. The four who are responsible for bringing everything together are: Marilyn McClean (Director and Music Director), Mimi Jaye (Assistant Director), Maureen Hogan and Marina Virdone (Producers).
Rosary Society
Last Monday, the Rosary Society had their annual Christmas Dinner for the Rosarians and all women from the parish who were interested in attending. It was a nice way to get together to begin celebrating the Christmas season among friends, as we spiritually prepare during this time of Advent. The board, led by Co-Presidents – Dolores Cameron and Eileen Smith, did their usual wonderful job and everyone seemed to have a good time. We also thank the Rosarians for raising over $12,000 profit at the Christmas Fair a few weeks ago. Blessed are they!
Christmas
Please start thinking about your Christmas Mass plans at Holy Spirit parish. We have three Christmas Eve Masses and four Christmas Day Masses. Complete schedule is in this weeks bulletin.

DEACON LACHLAN
The essay below is adapted from an article in Aleteia Having the best Christmas is all about preparation. If we take it for granted, we might still go through the motions but in the end Christmas becomes just another thing that we do and, once it’s over, we’re left exhausted and can’t wait to put away the tree. Advent is the period of time before Christmas that helps us prepare, and using the season of Advent wisely is the secret to getting the most out of Christmas. Here are a few thoughts on how to do that.
Do something generous
Hopefully, we’re nice all the time and following this advice isn’t some last-minute, desperate attempt to get on Santa’s good side. But in the weeks leading up to Christmas, there are opportunities to exercise generosity in specific ways. For instance, it’s a great time to bake cookies for neighbors, go caroling at the local nursing home, or send care packages to first responders or those serving in the armed forces overseas who are working through the holidays. Pick at least one thing you’ll do this Advent and get the whole family involved if you can.
Visit relatives
The weeks before Christmas are a great time to get together or plan for visits during the upcoming holiday. Advent is the perfect excuse to renew relationships. As we put out our nativity sets and think about the Holy Family, it makes sense to put some time into our own families.
Forgive someone
Advent is a reminder of the simple values of patience and generosity, so it’s a fitting time to review the past year. What grudges or ill will are lingering? Make the effort to pray about being reconciled in your own heart with someone who has hurt you. If that someone who needs to be forgiven is you, forgive yourself and let go of the guilt. If you haven’t gone to the sacrament of Confession in a long time, now is the time to go ……….nothing is more freeing than saying your faults out loud, owning them, and moving on with the assurance of forgiveness. A heart free of burdens is an open heart, ready to love, and prepared to have the best Christmas ever.
May almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us into everlasting life. Amen.

The above teens and pre-teens generously gave their time last Saturday. They discarded the 2017 hymnals and lectionary readings and replaced them with the 2018 version. We thank
them for their time, kindness and generosity.
CHRISTMAS COLLECTION
Please consider, in prayer, how much of a donation you will make to Holy Spirit parish this Christmas. I have proudly been a good steward of your money. We have not had a
capital campaign nor have we sold any parish property, but we have made a huge financial comeback by cutting back on unnecessary expenses (and trust me, there were many!).
However, a few times a year - Christmas, Easter, Festival and Catholic Ministries Appeal, I do ask for the support of the parish because we rely on these collections to build on our
parish nest egg. This will assure parish financial stability for many years to come. Whether you are rich or poor, please do the best you can, and as always, be assured your money will
either be saved or spent very wisely. Thank you!
Happy Advent and an early Merry Christmas!

LET US PRAY
For Those Who Died in the Lord
John GraffignaRalph T. Barbaro
The True Meaning of Christmas
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

Pro-Life NewsOur Spiritual Adopted Babies have been
especially remembered on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Adopt-A-
Baby cards were on the altar for the Masses. Thank you for your continued prayers. The following is a special prayer, authored by
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, for the unborn children.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the
unborn child that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.
Christmas Cards
Please send a Christmas card to the parish so we can include you and your family in our parish Christmas Hall of Fame. We don’t want your family to be left out. Parishioners of all ages are welcome.
We will hang these cards in the hallway as you enter the 6th Street entrance of the Church.
Cards may be sent or brought to the Rectory to the attention of Fr. Grieco, but address it “Dear parishioners of Holy Spirit parish.”
