Legacy II Update
Thank You, Lord! And Thanks to the 114 families
who have made their Faith Commitments to
Legacy II! To date, we have received $102,883.00
in commitments!
Please God, we pray, that the other 929 families will
make their Faith Commitments today to help us
achieve our Legacy II goal of $175,000.00 toward
eliminating our parish debt.
If each of those families make a commitment of
only $100.00 (less than $2.00 a week), we could
Easily surpass our goal.
This changes EVERYTHING!
Your money. Your story. Your life.
Learn God’s ways of handling money with Dave
Ramsey’s Financial Peace University!
The average turnaround is $8,000 in just the first
three months!
Meetings will be on Wednesdays, at 6:00pm at the
Schneider Parish Center beginning January 14, and
continuing for 9 consecutive weeks, ending March
18.
For more information contact Joe Dagney at

Rediscover the Love in Your Marriage!
The Retrouvaille Marriage Program offers help for
struggling marriages.
Tens of thousands of couples have successfully
saved their marriages by attending a Retrouvaille
weekend and the six post sessions that follow it.
Retrouvaille is not just a social gathering or series
of seminars, but rather a way to rediscover and re-
kindle the loving relationship in your marriage.
The next program begins on the weekend of Febru-
ary 13-15 at the Family Life Center in Malvern, Pa.
For more information or to register for our upcom-
ing weekend, visit our web site at
www.HelpOurMarriage.com or call 1-800-470-
2230.
All inquiries are kept strictly confidential.
PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY
Please remember in your prayers all the men and
women who are serving our country in the armed
forces.
Lord, protect them and their families for the self-
less acts they perform for us.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord.
Amen.

C.A.F..E
Advent Study Began November 25
Perhaps the best Christmas gift you could give is one
for yourself. Please consider spending just one hour
a week during the Advent season to spiritually pre-
pare for the beautiful feast of our Lord's birth.
CAFÉ, our adult faith enrichment group, will offer
the final Advent Study session on Thursday, Decem-
ber 18.
From 7:00-8:00 pm in the lower level of the Schnei-
der Parish Center. We will read the Scripture pas-
sages for the upcoming Sunday Mass and discuss
ways to live out our faith during the Advent season
so that Christmas will be more meaningful to us.
For more information please email to
[email protected], or call Sue Brown at
610-857-2026.
Advent Daily Reflection from Father Barron
If you would like to receive a daily email reflection
from Father Robert Barron during Advent, you can
sign up by going to http://adventreflections.com/ .
Father Barron offered a similar program during Lent,
and many of our parishioners found it rewarding.
Father Barron’s “Catholicism” Series
on Sunday Mornings
Refresh & Renew, our Adult Sunday School pro-
gram, is presenting Father Barron’s “Catholicism”
Series each Sunday morning from 9:15-10:45am.
We meet in one of the center classrooms downstairs
at the SPC.
This is open to all parishioners, and you are wel-
come to drop in any time throughout the school year.
We watch 25 minutes of the DVD presentation, and
then follow up with a very relaxed, faith-filled dis-
cussion.
Hope to see you there!
Let's send Christmas Greetings to our
home-bound parishioners!
We are collecting Christmas cards for these special
members of our parish family.
The cards can include a special message inside or
even be a homemade card from a child!
(They love those!)
What would be even be more awesome...is if your
card contained a promise of prayers that you will
say just for them, a gift of a spiritual bouquet. (Ex; I
said a rosary for you, or 5 Hail Mary's, 4 Our Fa-
thers, I offered my Mass for you, etc...)
Prayers are one of the best gifts we can give each
other.
Please place your cards inside the designated box,
located in the back of each worship site by
December 14th.
Please personalize the cards to include the following
names:
Anna
Arlene
Helen
Frank and Maria (married)
Vincent
Delores
Dolores
Anne
Mary
Sonia
Mary
Eileen
Ed & Joan (married)
(We are not collecting gifts for the 12 Days of
Christmas this year.)
Thank You,
Health Ministry
