PARKING IN THE RED ZONE Did you know that it is illegal to park in a red zone?

Did you know that you will receive a parking ticket if you park along the red curb area of the church. The red no parking zone is specially for Emergency vehicles! If someone has a medical emergency, the ambulance, or

fire trucks cannot assist that person. PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE RED ZONE

PLEASE NO FOOD AT CHURCH It has been brought to our attention that food is being brought in to church. Please do not bring cupcakes, little cakes, and other items that break off and cause a big mess at church. Please try to feed your children at home before coming to church. The carpet is very mistreated due to koolaid, juice, milk and food that is spilled and walked on. Please be mindful of where you are at! Please keep our Church clean.

Christmas Flower Donations

Thank You so much for your donations toward the Christmas Flower Fund. We have two

frames that will be on display at the North wall with all names of our loved ones living and

deceased. The Flowers are so beautiful!!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! It's time to decorate the Church for Christ-mas. We will be decorating on Dec 20th immediately following the Spanish Mass. The trees were put out last week-end and the wreaths, garland and final touches will go up on Dec 20. All are welcome to help make our Church

beautiful for the birth of our Lord Jesus

God has truly blessed us in so many ways. As stewards, we are asked to give back, tithe, to the Lord in thanksgiving for all he has given us. We, your parish family, ask that you keep us in mind as you prepare your year-end charitable giving for 2015. Please contact Delma Sanchez @ 665-8933, for any assis-tance. Your accountant or financial advisor can provide you with more information specific to your needs.

YOUR YEAR-END GIVING

Makes a Difference

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS

Let your goodness, Lord, appear to us.

that we, made in your image.

conform ourselves to it.

In our own strength

we cannot imitate your

majesty,

power and wonder;

not is it fitting for us to

try.

but your mercy

teaches from the heav-

ens,

through the clouds,

to the earth below.

You have come to us

as a small child,

but you have brought us

the greatest of all gifts,

the gift of eternal love.

caress us with your tiny

hands,

embrace us with your tiny arms,

and pierce our hearts

with your soft, sweet cries. Amen.

Preparación Para Bautismo en Español

son casados deben serlo en el Sacramento de la Iglesia Católica. Este programa es

obligatorio para quienes no lo hayan tomado antes. Seria muy bueno tomarlo durante el embarazo. Para reservaciones
