Holy Day of Obligation
Immaculate Conception
This year the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception falls on Satur-day, December 8. The following day, Sunday, December 9, is the Second Sunday of Advent. This means that Catholics need to attend two Masses for two separate obligations. You can fulfill your obliga-tion to attend the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on the Vigil Mass on Friday. You cannot fulfill this obligation attending Saturday evening mass. Attending Saturday evening mass will only fulfill your Second Sunday of Advent obligation. Schedule for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception: Friday, December 7 at 6:30 PM Saturday, December 8 at 9:00 AM 10:30 AM Spanish
FIESTA DE PRECEPTO (OBLIGACION)
Este año la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción es el sábado 8 de diciembre. El siguiente día, domingo 9 de diciembre, es el Segun-do Domingo de Adviento. Esto significa que los católicos necesitan asistir a dos misas para cumplir con dos obligaciones diferentes. Ust-ed puede cumplir con su obligación de asistir a la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción asistiendo a la Misa de Vigilia el viernes. Usted no puede cumplir esta obligación asistiendo a la misa del sábado en la tarde.

THE NECESSITY OF ADVENT
"May He strengthen your hearts, making them blameless and holy before our God and Father at the coming of our
Lord Jesus." —1 Thessalonians 3:13
Happy New Year! This is the first day of the Church's year and the beginning of the Advent season. "This holy season teaches us that Christ's coming was not only for the benefit of His contemporaries; His power has still to be communicated to us all" (from a pastoral letter by St. Charles Borromeo, read at the Office of Readings for Monday of the first week of Advent). The purpose of Advent is to prepare us for a deep, personal, life-changing, world-shaking encounter with Christ this Christmas season.
For thousands of years, people have been preparing for Christ's coming and for almost seventeen hundred years have been cele-brating Advent. The Holy Spirit has taught the Church that to prepare for Christ, we must:
• Pray the Mass with so much love that Mass becomes the center of our lives. Thus, we have the word, "Christ-Mass." • Be immersed in repentance and express this by Advent Confession(s) (see Lk 3:3ff). • Abide in God's Word (Jn 8:31) and share His Word. This is the origin of Christmas cards. • Do penance, especially fasting. This is the connotation of the Advent color, purple. • Do good deeds, especially almsgiving. This is the origin of Christmas gift-giving.
Christ is coming in a new way this Christmas. Get ready this Advent. †Most Reverend Joseph R. Binzer, Auxiliary Bishop, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, July 16, 2018. Copyright © 2018 Presentation Ministries.
