Immaculate Heart of Mary Church
Welcome to
December 22, 2019 * Fourth Sunday of Advent /Christmas
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
those in hospitals, nursing homes, the
homebound, the families of the sick,
caregivers, and the members of the
military and their families.
From Father John,
Dear Immaculate Heart of Mary Parishioners & Guests,
On behalf of our parish I would like to offer a very
warm welcome to all our guests this weekend and
those who will be joining us at Christmas. You bless
us with your presence and you are welcome here!
Very soon we will celebrate the great Solemnity of
Christmas. We celebrate and receive the great gift
that God has given to us in His Son, come to us as a
little baby. This Christmas I would like to invite us all
to take some time (just 15 minutes) in prayer to
allow ourselves to be present at the nativity scene
with Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. When you are there,
soak up the scenery, what Mary, Joseph, and Jesus
look like and what they are doing. You may ask who
else you want to be there with you as you approach
the manger. They could be family members or
perhaps people with whom you struggle. Most
importantly, allow yourself really to be there. Pay
attention as Mary and Joseph invite you closer..
perhaps even ask you to pick up the Child. Allow the
scene to unfold. What happens as you look into the
child’s eyes. What are in the hearts of Mary and
Joseph for you? What about the others who are
present? What do you want to say? Pour out your
heart there. Allow the grace of the Christ Child to go
a little deeper this Christmas. May we all find a new
Bethlehem in our hearts, our lives, our families, and
our parish.
Merry Christmas!
Peace and every good,
Fr. John Bauer

Year - End Giving Opportunities
This is the time of year when people consider giving
charitable contributions to their favorite charities.
We hope that you consider IHM Catholic Church as one
of your favorites. Here are a few ideas to help maximize
the benefits of your giving for you and our parish:
IRA Distributions: Please consult your tax advisor to
make a direct transfer from your IRA to IHM. This option
may be particularly beneficial if you don’t itemize
deductions on your tax return.
Stock Contributions: If you have appreciated stock this
year, you may realize a tax break by donating to IHM.
Consult your tax advisor to address your situation.
Christmas Envelopes: There is a Christmas envelope in
your December packet. We hope that you will maintain
your regular weekly support along with making a special
Christmas contribution. Please give generously.
Our budget is based on using both envelopes.
Employer Matching Funds: You may wish to consult with
your employer to determine if a matching gift from your
company can double the value of your contribution to
our parish.
Church Endowment Funds: We have a special
endowment account separate from our regular operating
fund. If you wish to make a contribution in the 2019 tax
year, we welcome your generosity and support. Call
Kellie Dennehy at 952-935-1432 for more information.
Donations you wish to include for the 2019 Tax Year
need to be submitted by Tuesday, December 31
st
.
Merry Christmas & a Blessed New Year. Thank you!
