To celebrate this recognition, please join us at these events:
attend. Children of all ages are welcome.
One of the challenges parents face is how to handle that time
when their child begins to ask questions about Santa Claus.
How do they help a child understand that Santa Claus is a
concept, based on our very own Catholic St. Nicholas? Telling
children, the St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas)
story, helps them understand how a real
bishop, in the Catholic Church is
represented by today’s Santa Claus.

Martha’s Friends
We will gather on December 14th at 1:00PM in the Religious
Education Center. During this season of Advent/Christmas
there are many things to ponder. What are some ways to keep
the Advent season holy, are you turning to Mary during Advent
and the what is meant by the joy of Advent? How about the
Christmas season? Ever wonder why we have mistletoe, holly
and poinsettias or why we sing Christmas Carols? Was the
baby Jesus really born on December 25th? Do you have family
traditions? We hope you will be able to find time to come and
share in this exciting time of the liturgical year.

What a great turn out for St Francis of Assisi. There was
wonderful information presented in a way that only Bishop
Barron does. He is on a new journey to unlock the truth behind
the Catholic Church's most influential people and you are
invited to sit in a front row seat.
Next month you'll discover the places
where St. Thomas Aquinas lived, learned, and wrote.
“The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love; It signifies
Love, It produces love. The Eucharist is the
consummation of the whole spiritual life.”

Travel with us, December 17, as we go door to door looking for
a warm place to rest, like Mary and Joseph when seeking
shelter in Bethlehem. When we arrive at our destination we
will be rewarded with dessert, hot chocolate and a piñata
for the kids! If you have candies or a piñata you want to
donate, bring them to the parish office.
Viaja con nosotros, el 17 de diciembre, mientras vamos de puerta
en puerta buscando un lugar cálido para descansar,
como María y José cuando buscan refugio en Belén.
¡Cuando llegamos a nuestro destino seremos
recompensados con postre, chocolate caliente y una
piñata para los niños! Si usted tiene dulces o una piñata
que quiere donar, tráigalos a la oficina parroquial.
Volunteers Needed
Altar Society is looking for volunteers to decorate the church
for Christmas on Sunday, December 18 at 1:30PM after the
Spanish Mass.
Volunteers are also needed to un-decorate/take down all the
Christmas decorations on Sunday, January 8 th at 1:30Pm after
the Spanish Mass.
Holy Land Hand Crafts
We are here on behalf of our Christian families in Bethlehem.
These families are currently facing an economic hardship that
lead many of them to leave the Holy Land and search for other
places that are more secure to live. Hundreds of years ago, the
percentage of Christians in the Holy Land was 63%. Now it is
less than 2%! If this hardship continues as it is now, we believe
I a few years there will be no Christians in the Holy Land. For
centuries, Bethlehem’s Christians have supported their families
by carving Olive Wood Religious Art for visiting pilgrims.
These Olive Wood carvings may take up to a month to
care as they need to first dry the wood, then they need to
very carefully carve the outside figure. After all that work
is done, they then have to carve the little details that appear on
the carving. Also, this olive wood is about two thousand years
old and as everyone knows, it was blessed by Jesus Christ. Our
mission of keeping a Christian presence in the Holy Land can
only be achieved with your support. So, we invite all of you to
come support the Christian families in the Holy Land by
purchasing an olive wood carving hand made by those families.
Thank you and God bless you all.
Voluntarios necesitados
La Sociedad del Altar está buscando voluntarios para decorar
la iglesia para Navidad el domingo, 18 de diciembre a la 1:30
PM después de la misa española.
Los voluntarios también son necesarios para derribar todas las
decoraciones de Navidad el domingo, 8 de enero a la 1: 30Pm
después de la misa española.
Tallas religiosas de madera de olivo hechas
a mano en la Tierra Santa
Durante muchos años, la población cristiana en la Tierra Santa
ha confiado en haciendo por mano tallas religiosas de madera
de olivo como una forma de ganarse la vida y apoyar a sus
familias. Sin embargo, ante la difícil situación económica que
enfrentan ahora, muchas de estas familias ya no pueden vender
sus productos y cuidarse. Nuestra misión ha sido traer sus
hermosos artículos aquí y ayudarles a venderlo. Todo el
dinero que hacemos ira directamente de regreso a los
artesanos y sus familias. Esperamos seguir haciendo la
diferencia y con su ayuda evitar que nuestros hermanos y
hermanas tengan que salir de la Tierra Santa, preservando así el
cristianismo en la ciudad donde todo comenzó.
