We would like to thank all of our parishioners and
visitors for being generous with your weekly
donations. It is such a help to our parish.
Our collection for the week of December 6, 2015
was $10,819.35.
May God bless you for your continued support.
We welcome you to make your weekly/monthly
donations by enrolling in Parish Pay by
visiting www.parishpay.com or calling
(866) 727-4741 to set up an account.
Angel Tree is an annual project of our parish. It
is an opportunity to bring the love of Christ to
the least fortunate of our community during the
Christmas season. Angel Tree tags are located
in a basket in front of the Blessed Mother. On
each angel tag is a suggested age appropriate gift
item for a girl or boy. Parishioners are invited to
take as many Angel tags as they would like to
purchase the suggested gift. We are requesting 1
item of clothing (valued at $20.00) and 1 toy
(valued at $20.00). Please do not wrap the gifts.
Bring your gifts in gift bags with the angel tag
attached. Gifts may be left inside the church or
maybe turned in at the parish office.
Please return your gift to the parish office on
or before Monday, December 14th.
If you have any questions, please call the parish
office.
Once you select a tag,
you become this child’s Angel!

UPCOMING RELIGIOUS EDUCATION EVENTS:

Retirement Fund for Religious
Aging religious need your help. In the
United States today, there are more than
33,000 senior Catholic sisters, brothers and
religious order priests. These religious
worked tirelessly in Catholic schools, hospitals, and agencies, usually for little to no pay.
As a result, many religious communities lack
adequate savings for retirement and eldercare. Your gift to today’s collection for the
Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide
medications, nursing care and more. Please
be generous.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
December 13, 2015
Third Sunday of Advent
Pope Francis chose to inaugurate the Jubilee
Year of Mercy last Tuesday because December 8
marks the fiftieth anniversary of the closing of
Vatican II. That council, Pope Francis reminds us,
inaugurated a new phase in the Church’s history.
The Spirit called the Church to tear down the walls
that for far too long had made it a fortress, and to
proclaim the gospel in a new, more accessible way.
Pope Francis quotes Saint John XXIII in declaring
the Church’s preference for “the medicine of mercy,” and Blessed Paul VI in proposing the Good Samaritan as our model for discipleship (Misericordiae
Vultus, 4). Pope Francis adds that God’s mercy is
“the beating heart of the Gospel,” and that mercy
“must penetrate the heart and mind” of every disciple (MV , 12). Three times today’s Gospel asks,
“What should I do?” Pope Francis would say: Imitate Jesus, who came not wielding the fiery judgment
that John the Baptist had threatened, but instead imparting healing, compassion, forgiveness—mercy!

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
13 de diciembre de 2015
Tercer Domingo de Adviento
El Papa Francisco eligió inaugurar el Año Jubilar
de la Misericordia el pasado martes porque el 8 de
diciembre marca el quincuagésimo aniversario de la
clausura del Concilio Vaticano II. El Papa Francisco
nos recuerda que el Concilio inauguró una fase en la
historia de la Iglesia. El Espíritu llamó a la Iglesia a
derrumbar muros que la habían hecho una fortaleza
por mucho tiempo, y a proclamar el Evangelio en un
modo nuevo y más accesible. El Papa Francisco cita a
san Juan XXIII declarando la “preferencia por la medicina de la misericordia” de la Iglesia, y al beato Pablo VI proponiendo “al Buen Samaritano como nuestro modelo de discipulado” (Misericordiae Vultus, 4).
El Papa Francisco añade: “la misericordia de Dios es
el corazón palpitante del Evangelio” y que esa misericordia debe “alcanzar la mente y el corazón” de cada
discípulo (MV, 12). En el Evangelio de hoy, tres veces se pregunta “¿Qué tenemos que hacer?” El Papa
Francisco diría: Imita a Jesús, quien vino no empuñando el juicio de fuego que Juan el Bautista anunciaba, sino en su lugar sanando, siendo compasivo, perdonando —¡misericordia!

Luke 1: 30-33
Then the angel said to
her, “Do not be afraid,
Mary, for you have
found favor with God.
And behold, you will
conceive in your womb and
bring forth a Son, and shall
call His name JESUS. He will
be great, and will be called
the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give
Him the throne of His father David. And He will
reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His
kingdom there will be no end.”

Next Ministry Planning Meeting
Thursday, December 17th at 6:30pm
Attn: Spiritual Parents/Brothers & Sisters!!
Please continue to pray!
The babies are counting on us!
Remember to pray daily for your spiritually adopted
child and his/her parents. During your earthly life,
this spiritually adopted child of yours is known only
to God, but in the world to come, it is hoped that you
will meet this child whose life was spared by your
prayers and spend eternal happiness with him/her.
One Month:
Your spiritually adopted baby has been quite active
over the past four weeks. Already, your baby is
10,000 times bigger than at conception. Your baby
has developed the foundations of his/her brain, spinal cord, and nervous system by the 20th day. His/her
heart began to beat on the 21st day and is pumping
blood through his/her own circulatory system. The
blood type can be different from the mother’s. Your
baby is most vulnerable during the next month of
being aborted. Pray that the Lord of Life might move
the heart of his/her mother to give them the most
precious gift of all… the gift of life!

THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
DID YOU KNOW?
Safety is key even when visiting Santa Claus
Visiting Santa Claus can be a grand and positive
childhood experience. However, some people who
seek to bring Santa to life in a child’s world are not
deserving of our trust. Make sure your child knows
that there are special rules for Santa and that parents
or guardians must always be with the child when he
or she visits Santa. One rule to consider is encouraging your child to stand next to Santa or sit on the
floor between his feet rather than sitting on his lap.
For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Safety for
Children AND Santa’s Helpers,” email:
[email protected].
¿SABIA USTED?
La seguridad es clave aun cuando
se visite a Santa Claus
Visitar a Santa Claus (Papá Noel) puede ser una
gran experiencia para niños y muy positiva. Sin embargo, algunas personas que buscan darle vida a
Santa Claus en el mundo de un niño no merecen
siempre toda nuestra confianza. Asegúrese que su
hijo o hija sepan que existen reglas especiales para
Santa Claus y que los padres de familia o guardianes
deben siempre estar con los niños cuando ellos visiten a Santa. Una regla a considerar es animar a su
hijo o hija a pararse al lado de Santa Claus o sentarse en el piso entre sus pies en lugar de hacerlo sobre
sus piernas. Para una copia del artículo VIRTUS®
