The Holy Season of Advent Second Sunday of Advent

There shall be a root of Jesse;

Please Note:

As you know, most parishes do not have

Confessions during Christmas week. During

each Christmas Holiday Season, we schedule

additional Confession times. Please take

note of the times and make every attempt to go

to Confession before Christmas.

Do not wait until the last minute!

Join us at the St. Nicholas Party and Pot Luck on Sunday, December 10th

as we celebrate Father Pasley’s Birthday.

Enjoy a slice of birthday cake as we wish our Rector a blessed year!

In the Liturgical Calendar this year, Advent is

not a full four weeks long. Since the Fourth

Sunday of Advent falls on Christmas Eve,

Sunday, December 24th, Advent is actually only

three weeks. Amid the various Holiday activities

of this Christmas season, and all of the hustle and

bustle we inflict upon ourselves, please do not

forget the real meaning of this most Holy Day. Make time to truly celebrate the birth of Our

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Please remember to turn in your Flower

Donation Envelopes as soon as possible!

All intentions received by

Friday, December 15th

will be included in

the December 24th Bulletin.

The normal stipend for Masses is $15. This is the busiest time of the year and the volume of Mass requests necessitates a cut-off date to allow sufficient time to process the Mass Cards.

20/20 Project - Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is the 20/20 Project requesting Masses to be said for the campaign?

A. When Masses are requested "For the Protection of the Unborn & Their Families", there is a two-fold benefit. First, of course, is the efficacy of the Mass itself for the pro-life cause. Second, the announcement of this intention -- at the pulpit and in the church bulletin -- serves to evangelize and remind congregations of the sanctity of unborn life, even in churches that don't often provide a strong pro-life message.

So please arrange for Masses in ANY Catholic church, preferably on a weekend (more people to hear the intention), otherwise the next "first available" Mass. Complete the form (in St Martha Rm) indicating where/when Mass will be said, and drop in box provided.
