Advent Reconciliation Service

Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 7:00pm

There will be extra priests available to hear your confession.

Please make plans to spiritually prepare yourself for the

celebration of Christmas.

A story is told of the photographer taking a

picture. He says to the woman, "Smile pretty

for the camera." A moment later, "OK, madam,

you can resume your usual face." Whether you

and I will have a successful Advent these

next four weeks will depend on the attitude

or face we bring to it today. We must stay

awake, as Jesus advises us in this Gospel,

and on top of our game. If affirmative, this

first week in a fresh Liturgical year might

quite literally alter our lives.

Scholars trace the season of Advent back to

the fifth century. It was placed in the Li-

turgical calendar of the Church so that we

might purge out of ourselves all that is

wrong. In a word, we have the opportunity to

remake our own selves anew. And we have the

luxury of four weeks to do the job in. Be-

come then a twenty-eight day wonder.

Fr. Tom Kennedy

Approximately $14K has been donated since the October

report. This brings the total donated to $1,611,498. Our

goal is $2.2M. Next week’s 2nd collection will go to this

capital campaign as usual. Use the Capital Improve-

ments envelope contained in the packet of Sunday

Offering envelopes or your pledge envelope from the

diocese.

Shepherd’s Storehouse Angel Tree If you would like to sponsor a needy child for Christmas, stop by the church office and select your “angel.” Gifts are to be returned to the Shepherd’s Storehouse no later than Friday, December 11th.
