HI TIP: Together In Prayer
Each month we focus on a local community concern and ask pa-rishioners to commit to praying for 2 minutes each day specifical-ly for that concern as well as for our church community. You can pray whenever and wherever you want. “Ask and you will re-ceive,” said Jesus. Together we can do great things. December Let us pray for the abused, lonely, abandoned, and homeless, and for those who work to serve them and advocate for them: Catho-lic Community Services, Lazarus Day Center, our St. Vincent de Paul Conference, and HopeLink. In this time when traditionally families gather together for celebrations, let us remember those who are rejected, alienated, or depressed.
St. Vincent de Paul, pray for us.
Dear Friends in Christ, Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth! Over the shepherd’s fields this song of the angels
echoed through that still night as God slipped in quietly into our everyday life. One of the names given to this holy child is Emmanuel “God with us.” This is what we celebrate and re-joice in every Christmas. God has taken on our flesh and be-come one of us and our relationship with God is forever changed by this gracious event.
Whatever drew you here today, I hope that you will feel the presence of the Lord in this Church and in this community of faith. I hope that the song of song of the angels will exult in your heart and grant you the peace which is the promise of Christmas.
If you have been away from the Church for a while, I hope you will see the humility, vulnerability and love of God in the man-ger as invitation to enter more fully into his life here on earth through this community of faith. If the experience of Christ-mas is completely new to you, I hope you will discover here that abiding love God which draws us closer to God and one another.
Our broken world is much in need of the peaceable kingdom heralded by Christ’s birth. Especially this year, let us pray that Christ’s peace may heal the divisions among us in our families, our nation and our world. May Christ’s peace reign in our own hearts and in our world.
On behalf of myself and all who share in the ministry here, I would like to wish you and your families a joyful and blessed Christmas. May God surround you with his joy, peace and love!
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. James Johnson, Pastor

Thank you to the following parishioners who have turned in their 2020-2025 pledge cards!
Baptisms
The celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism for infants is scheduled after the baptismal preparation for the parents are completed. Baptisms are normally celebrated at a Sunday Mass in the parish where the parents live. Adults (7-years or older) seeking baptism or confirmation are invited to inquire at the
parish office for information about adult preparation.
Marriage
Couples seeking marriage in the Church are asked to contact the parish at least four months in advance of their proposed wedding date. For those with prior marriages, additional time may be required. Marriages are celebrated in the parish in which one of the Catholic parties lives.
Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
Private confession is available from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm every
Saturday before the 5:00 pm Vigil Mass.
Pastoral Care for the Sick & Dyin g
In the case of serious illness or failing health due to old age, parishioners should ask the church for the Sacrament of Anointing. This sacrament is administered by a priest and is best celebrated communally at a Sunday Mass, but may be offered individually by appointment as necessary. When a parishioner is near death, they should receive Holy Communion, called the Sacrament of Viaticum (food for the journey). This sacrament can be administered by a priest, deacon, or a eucharistic minister.
Pantry Pig for the week of December 8th: $181.
