MINISTRIES, EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
MINISTERIO EN ESPAÑOL
ADULT FORMATION
Primer Domingo de Adviento
First Sunday of Advent
LA VENIDA DEL REINO
Gospel: Luke 21:25-28, 34-36
Adults: What have been the strengths of your
prayer life? What habit of prayer could you
strengthen during this Advent season?
Children: What prayers will you say each day and
each week during Advent?
Jeremías lo veía venir –el reinado de Jesús y la restauración de Jerusalén. Pero, ¿había alguien que le
escuchara? ¿Alguien escucha ahora? Ser profeta
tenía que haber sido muy difícil, pero Jeremías era
persistente en su mensaje, porque sabía lo necesario
que era escucharlo.
Persistente en su mensaje también es Pablo, animando a los tesalonicenses –y a todos nosotros– a
vivir de acuerdo al reino que Jeremías anunció. Nos
motiva a comportarnos en el camino de santidad
para que estemos bien preparados para la llegada
del rey. Finalmente, Jesús mismo nos dice que estemos siempre atentos para lograr el agrado de nuestro Dios y Rey.
Evangelio: Lucas 21: 25-28, 34-36
Adultos: ¿Cuáles han sido los puntos fuertes de
su vida de oración? ¿Qué hábito de la oración se
puede fortalecer durante este tiempo de Adviento?
Niños: ¿Qué oraciones vas a decir cada día y cada
semana durante el Adviento?
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
First Sunday of Advent
Jeremías podía ver que se acercaba el reinado de
Jesús. Al comenzar el tiempo de Adviento, Pablo y
Jesús nos enseñan no sólo cómo prepararnos para el
Reino, sino cómo vivirlo día a día. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
“But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect
and raise your heads because your redemption is at
hand” - Luke 21:28
COMUNIDAD HISPANA
We celebrate Advent each year in preparation of the
birth of Jesus, his first coming, as we await his second coming. In this Advent season, use the Sacrament of Reconciliation to strengthen your relationship with Jesus. It’s never too late.

ANGEL TREE
SOCIAL JUSTICE/RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE EVENT
During the month of November, parishioners have
the opportunity to help bring Christmas gifts to
Stockton children who have parents or other family
members who are incarcerated.
Please take an angel tag (or more) from one of the
two Advent Angel Trees located at the front and the
west entrances of the church. The tag will provide
the name of the child, age, toy request, and clothing
item with size. Please return the
wrapped gift with the angel tag (we
won’t know who the gift will belong to without it) and place under
either angel tree. Gifts will be delivered to the Advent Angel Tree families in
early December by church volunteers.
This year marks the 4th year that gifts
will also be provided to the children of the families
who depend on our Food Pantry.
For more information on
the Advent Angel Tree project,
please contact Susan Mora Loyko at 479-1944.

Monsignor’s Corner
On the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pope
Francis will inaugurate the PAPAL HOLY YEAR OF MERCY at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. I invite all of you on this, our National Holy Day of Obligation, to join with the Pope in praying for a more merciful world and Church. In
the document declaring this Holy Year, Pope Francis reminds us that it will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Ecumenical
Council (and I was in Rome for that event as a theology student): “The walls
which for too long had made the Church a kind of fortress were torn down and
the time had come to proclaim the Gospel in a new way.” (#4). Let us remember
“that all things are possible for God.” (Mk 10:27) Our Mass schedule: Vigil,
Monday, December 7: 5:30pm (English), Tuesday, December 8: 6:00am
(English); 8:30am (School Mass); 5:30pm (Spanish).
