FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK… Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales Parish, The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord marks the end of the Christmas Season. In this event the Holy Trinity is revealed. When Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus like a dove, and a voice came from above saying, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:22b) The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is a day to celebrate our faith in Christ, the anointed Servant of God. Rising from the waters, Jesus began his ministry of healing, teaching and proclaiming the Good News of salvation. We, the baptized, share in the mission of Christ. We are called to spread the Good News through our actions of justice, charity and love. May we be inspired to renew our baptismal commitment daily, and become instruments of God’s mercy in this world. God’s Blessings, Fr. Jim Schuerman Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales, La Fiesta del Bautismo del Señor es el fin de las celebraciones navideñas. En este evento, la Santísima Trinidad fue revelada. Cuando Jesús fue bautizado en el Río Jordán, El Espíritu Santo bajó sobre Jesús como una paloma, y llegó una voz del cielo diciendo, “Tu eres mi Hijo, el predilecto; en ti me complazco.” (Lucas 3, 22b) Hoy es la Fiesta del Bautismo del Señor, un día para celebrar nuestra fe en Cristo, el siervo de Dios. Saliendo de las aguas, Jesús empezó su ministerio, sanando a los enfermos, enseñando el pueblo y proclamando la Buena Nueva de la salvación. Nosotros los bautizados compartimos la misión de Cristo. Estamos llamados a predicar la Buena Nueva, sobre todo por medio de nuestras acciones de justicia, caridad y amor. ¡Que Dios nos inspire a renovar nuestras promesas bautismales cada día, y así ser instrumentos de la misericordia de Dios en este mundo! Que Dios los bendiga, Padre Jim Schuerman

LAS POSADAS AT SFDS Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration celebrated chiefly in Mexico and by Mexican-Americans every evening beginning Dec. 16 and ending Dec. 24. A 400 year old tradition, two people dress up as Mary and Joseph. Certain houses are designated to be an "inn". The head of the procession will have a candle inside a paper lampshade. At each house, the resident responds by singing a song and Mary and Joseph are finally recognized and allowed to enter. Once the “innkeepers” let them in, the group of guests come into the home and kneel around the Nativity scene to pray (typically, the Rosary). Individuals may actually play the various parts of Mary (María) and Joseph with attendants such as angels and shepherds acquired along the way, or the pilgrims may carry images of the holy personages instead. The procession will be followed by musicians, with the entire procession singing posadas such as pedir posada. At the end of each night’s journey, there will be Christmas carols (villancicos), children will break open star-shaped piñatas to obtain candy and fruit hidden inside, and there will be a feast.

Non-participants are asked to donate $5.00 or $4.00 for Seniors and children over 12. We are in need of chili makers and anyone who would like to volunteer to help out at the event. Sign up sheets will be posted in the chapel foyer the weekend of Dec. 26-27, and will be up for several weeks. Remember, the judging is done by the votes of the guests so encourage your family and friends to come to the Chili Cook-Off and vote for you!
