Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise.
Luke 3:11
Quien tenga dos túnicas, que dé una al que no
ene ninguna, y quien tenga comida, que haga lo mismo.

Mass schedules for the month of December is on page 4.
All are invited to the 2021 Simbang Gabi at Saint Dominic Savio. The Saint Dominic Savio Filipino Ministry invites everyone to attend the Simbang Gabi celebration on Friday, December 17th at 7 p.m. in our church. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Gifted to Share the Light of Christ.” Rev. Fr. Kristian Laygo, SDB, will be the presider. There will be a simple reception outside at the church plaza after the Mass. Simbang Gabi is a novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary of nine Masses which starts on the 16th of December, joyfully leading to the celebration of the Nativity of the Lord on Christmas Day. The Saint Dominic Savio Filipino Ministry welcomes everyone with these words, “Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat,” which means, A Blessed Christmas to one and all!
Posada Navideña is a Traditional Mexican pre-Christmas service in which we join Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem as they seek a place to stay because Mary is ready to give birth to her child, Jesus. The service is made up of traditional Spanish songs and prayers. The service in the church will be followed by games (including a piñata) and a snack in the parish hall. All, especially children, are invited.
Es un servicio mexicano y tradicional en el cual estamos acompañando a María y José en Belén como ellos están buscando hospedaje porque María está a punto de dar a luz a su hijo, al niño Jesús. El rito consta de cantos y rezos muy tradicionales. Después del servicio en la iglesia seguimos con juegos (en una piñata) y algo para tomar en el salón parroquial. Todos (especialmente los niños) están invitados.
The prophetic writings we hear in today’s scriptures call us to rejoice and celebrate the goodness of God. Zephaniah, Isaiah, Saint Paul, and John the Baptist in Luke’s Gospel all follow the rich tradition of the Biblical prophets, a tradition that reaches full expression in Jesus. The prophets warn that human failings have truly disastrous consequences. All are summoned to repent, and to change their lives. Today we hear the Good News that God’s gracious love exceeds and overcomes all human corruption. God has not given up on us. Indeed, God keeps pursuing us, and eagerly seeks to reconcile with us. God’s initiative to set the world aright culminates with Jesus, whose coming John the Baptist announces. John’s prophetic message summons us to join in God’s reconciling work, by living generously and justly in our daily lives. As we rejoice in God’s grace, we then extend the fruits of this grace to all. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Los escritos proféticos que escuchamos en las Escrituras de hoy nos llaman a alegrarnos y a celebrar la bondad de Dios. Sofonías, Isaías, san Pablo y Juan el Bautista en el Evangelio de Lucas siguen la rica tradición de los profetas bíblicos, una tradición que alcanza su máxima expresión en Jesús. Los profetas advierten que los errores humanos tienen consecuencias verdaderamente desastrosas. Todos están llamados a arrepentirse y a cambiar de vida. Hoy escuchamos la Buena Nueva de que el amor misericordioso vence a toda perversión humana. Dios no nos ha abandonado. De hecho, Dios sigue buscándonos, y ansiosamente busca la reconciliación con nosotros. Esta iniciativa de Dios para enderezar al mundo culmina con Jesús, cuya venida la anuncia Juan el Bautista. El mensaje profético de Juan pide que nos unamos a la obra reconciliadora de Dios, viviendo con generosidad y justicia nuestra vida cotidiana. Al alegrarnos de la gracia de Dios, extendemos los frutos de esta gracia a todos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Did you know?
Ever been met with silence when you ask, “How was your day?” Your communication efforts with your children, especially school-age children, may need some tweaking. Try asking concrete questions, like “Who did you sit next to at lunch?” or, “What was the most interesting thing you learned today?” If your child is struggling with sharing his or her emotions, it might be helpful to ask about other emotions you see around you. Find opportunities to get children talking about how they feel by focusing on other people: “Why do you think that girl and her dad are hugging? What made that boy on the playground mad earlier?” You may be surprised at the results! For more tips, request a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Communicating with School-Age Children” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
Alguna vez se ha encontrado con el silencio cuando pregunta: “¿Cómo estuvo tu día?” Sus esfuerzos de comunicación con sus hijos, especialmente los niños en edad escolar, pueden necesitar algunos ajustes. Intente hacer preguntas concretas, como “¿Con quién te sentaste a la hora dela comida?” o “¿Qué fue lo más interesante que aprendiste hoy?” Si su hijo tiene dificultades para compartir sus emociones, puede ser útil preguntarle sobre otras emociones que usted ve a su alrededor. Encuentre oportunidades para que los niños hablen sobre cómo se sienten centrándose en otras personas: “¿Por qué crees que esa niña y su papá se abrazan? ¿Qué hizo que ese chico en el patio de recreo se enojara?” ¡Te sorprenderán los resultados! Para obtener más consejos, solicite una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® en inglés, “Communicating with School-Age Children” (Cómo comunicarse con niños en edad escolar) en https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know//.
