Our Vision Called by Christ and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we respond in love and fidelity as the Virgin Mary did and embrace our journey of intentional discipleship.
Our Mission As disciples of Jesus Christ we are a diverse and hospitable Catholic Community. We pray, serve and spread the Gospel with joy.
Over the course of the last year, you may have lost a loved one, lost a job or financial security, have become stressed or overwhelmed in so much uncertainty, or are just unable to celebrate Christmas
traditions as you always have. Whatever the case, bring those burdens to the Lord at the Longest Night.
Longest NightThe holidays may be difficult this year.

My Dear People,
A very happy Fourth Sunday of Advent. Our Gospel today is the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. The mysteries of the first three weeks of Advent converge today into the truth that Christ who will rule the cosmos was once carried in the small world of Mary’s womb. John the Baptist, whose strong voice we heard on the banks of the Jordan River, can only announce the good news of Jesus’ advent by an exultant leap of joy in Elizabeth’s womb. There are no crowds. Just two expectant women, the Messiah and his precursor, and the one question Elizabeth asks of Mary: “How does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
Our Masses for Christmas Eve will take place at 3:00PM (livestreamed) and 5:30PM in English, 8:00PM in Spanish (livestreamed), and at Midnight in English. On Christmas morning, we will celebrate Mass at 9:15AM (livestreamed) and 11:15AM in English. The 3:00PM and 5:30PM Masses will be our busiest. There will be overflow seating in the Friends and Family Hall and in the parish meeting rooms with a video and audio feed. There will be carols starting at 11:30PM on Christmas Eve and the solemn Proclamation of the Birth of Christ will be sung at Midnight. Please note that on December 25, there will not be confessions nor the Vigil Masses for Sunday.
Recognizing that the holidays can be difficult for many people, we are collaborating with several other parishes in the Diocese for a Longest Night prayer service on Tuesday December 21 at 7:00PM in the St. John Fisher Chapel. The event will also be livestreamed on the diocesan YouTube channel. This will be a way for many to offer up our grief and lament and turn to Christ in hope during this Advent season. I thank all those who have and will give of their time in preparation for our Christmas celebrations, including our liturgy and music staff, choir members, our maintenance staff and our parish staff, and the Art and Environment Committee. Many thanks as well to all those who have helped prepare our church and our Christmas liturgies. It takes a lot of hard work to get everything ready as we celebrate the incarnation of the Lord.
Our parish office will be closed from noon on December 23 until January 3 as our staff enjoys the Christmas break.
In His Love,
Queridos Todos,
Un muy feliz cuarto domingo de Adviento. Nuestro Evangelio de hoy es la Visitación de María a Isabel. Los misterios de las primeras tres semanas de Adviento convergen hoy en la verdad de que Cristo, que gobernará el cosmos, fue una vez llevado en el pequeño mundo del vientre de María. Juan el Bautista, cuya fuerte voz escuchamos a orillas del río Jordán, sólo puede anunciar las buenas nuevas del advenimiento de Jesús por un exultante salto de alegría en el vientre de Isabel. No hay multitudes. Sólo dos mujeres embarazadas, el Mesías y su precursor, y la única pregunta que Isabel le hace
a María: "¿Cómo me pasa esto, que la madre de mi Señor venga a mí?"
Nuestras misas para la víspera de Navidad se llevarán a cabo a las 3:00 p.m. (transmisión en vivo) y a las 5:30 p.m. en inglés, a las 8:00 p.m. en español (transmisión en vivo) y a la medianoche en inglés. En la mañana de Navidad, celebraremos la Misa a las 9:15 AM (transmitida en vivo) y a las 11:15 AM en inglés. Las misas de las 3:00 p.m. y las 5:30 p.m. serán las más concurridas. Habrá asientos adicionales en el Salón de Amigos y Familia y en las salas de reuniones de la parroquia con una transmisión de video y audio. Habrá villancicos a partir de las 23:30 horas de Nochebuena y a medianoche se cantará la solemne Proclamación del Nacimiento de Cristo. Tenga en cuenta que el
25 de diciembre, no habrá confesiones ni las misas de vigilia para el domingo.
Reconociendo que los días festivos pueden ser difíciles para muchas personas, estamos colaborando con varias parroquias de la Diócesis para un servicio de oración de la Noche Más Larga el martes 21 de diciembre a las 7:00 PM en la Capilla de St. John Fisher. El evento también se retransmitirá en vivo en el canal diocesano de YouTube. Esta será una manera para que muchos ofrezcan nuestro dolor y lamento y se vuelvan a Cristo con esperanza durante esta temporada de Adviento.
Agradezco a todos aquellos que han dado y darán de su tiempo en preparación para nuestras celebraciones navideñas, incluido nuestro personal de liturgia y música, los miembros del coro, nuestro personal de mantenimiento y nuestro personal parroquial, y el Comité de Arte y Medio Ambiente. Muchas gracias también a todos los que han ayudado a preparar nuestra iglesia y nuestras liturgias de Navidad. Se necesita mucho trabajo duro para preparar todo mientras celebramos la encarnación del Señor.
Nuestra oficina parroquial estará cerrada desde el mediodía del 23 de diciembre hasta el 3 de enero mientras nuestro personal disfruta de las vacaciones de Navidad.
En su amor,

WEEKLY PRAYER
REFLECT
FIRST READING Micah prophesied a Messiah (“ruler”) would come through the line of David (“Bethlehem-Ephrathah”) and bring peace and harmony. In what ways does the upcoming birth of Christ bring you comfort?
SECOND READING As the season of Advent draws to a close, the author of Hebrews reminds us that as disciples of Christ, we must strive to do God’s will above all else. How do you stay focused on such an important task?
GOSPEL Luke is the only Evangelist to record the story of Mary visiting Elizabeth and only a portion of their conversation was preserved. What else do you imagine they talked about?

Consider Being an RCIA Sponsor
The Parish is in need of a few more sponsors for people who are on the journey to becoming Catholic — those who are engaged in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
RCIA sponsors represent the Catholic Church as friends and companions in faith. They participate with the person they are sponsoring in some of the catechetical sessions, and they stand with their sponsee at the various liturgical rites. Most importantly, they provide a listening ear, an encouraging heart, and a prayerful presence. Being an RCIA sponsor is an opportunity to share your faith with a person who the Spirit is guiding to our Catholic faith – and at the same time, grow in your own faith.
Contact Amanda Bolaños at [email protected] with questions or to volunteer to be a sponsor.
Jan. 1: First Saturday Devotion to Our Lady
