St. Theresa Catholic Church
December 3, 2017 First Sunday of Advent Dear Parishioners, This Sunday marks the start of the Advent season -- the shortest Advent we have had in a few years. We have just three short weeks to ready ourselves for the celebration of Christ's birth. We will have a number of opportunities for Con-fession in these three weeks leading up to Christmas. In addition to Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons, Confessions will be heard after Morning Masses on Wednesdays and Saturdays and on Tuesday evenings, from 7:00pm until the line runs out. Please be sure to take advantage of one of these opportu-nities to prepare your heart to receive the Lord! I mentioned that the Advent season is the shortest it can possibly be -- that means that the Fourth Sunday of Advent is also Christmas Eve. Some folks have already been asking about the schedule that day -- and how Mass attend-ance "works." In short, there is no "double dipping!" You must attend Mass for your Sunday obligation and an additional Mass for your Christmas obligation. For Sunday, we will have Masses according to our normal schedule (with the exception of the 5:00pm Mass): Saturday Vigil at 5:30pm; Sunday at 7:30, 8:45, and 10:30am; and 12:30pm. The church will be closed from the conclusion of the 12:30pm Mass until approximately 2:30pm, when the doors will reopen for the 4:00pm vigil Mass. Christmas Masses will be at 4:00, 6:00, and 8:00pm on Christmas Eve; and Midnight, 8:00 and 10:00am, and noon. If necessary, one could attend a Christmas Vigil Mass to fulfill the Sunday obligation, but it would be necessary to attend another Christmas Mass to fulfill the Christmas obliga-tion. This Friday is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a Holy Day of Obligation. Masses will be offered according to the following schedule: Thursday, December 7, Vigil Mass at 7:30pm; Friday, December 8, Masses at 6:15 and 8:30am; 12:15, 4:30, and 7:30pm. Please note that due to the vigil Mass there will be NO HOLY HOUR OR CONFESSIONS THIS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7TH. (There are additional confes-sion opportunities Tuesday evening, Wednesday Morning, and Saturday Morning this week.) God bless you!

Hygiene Item Collection Parishioners of St. Theresa, This is Matthew Horstkamp, an Eagle Scout Candidate in Troop 997. In this time of giving, many people remember to help those with an empty stomach. But, few remember to help those in need with another important routine: staying hygienic. With your help, my Eagle Scout project hopes to supply Catholic Charities in Leesburg with as many toiletries as we can for individu-als and families in need, as the pantry has none. We would greatly appreciate it if you brought in one or more of the following items:
Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Shampoo, Bar of Soap, Deodorant, Combs, Dis-posable Razors, Shaving Cream
Thank you, Matthew Horstkamp
