4th Sunday of Advent

Dear Parishioners;

As we enter the “homestretch” of this season of preparation, we hear of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth. Their visit is filled with joy, expressed wonderfully by Elizabeth’s baby (John the Baptist) leaping in her womb at the sound of Mary’s voice. In a few days, we will celebrate the great gift that God has given to humanity two thousand years ago: the gift of Jesus. Jesus comes as Savior of the world and as the majestic King—but also as a Shepherd who care deeply and personally for each one of us on our journey. May these last days before Christmas fill us with joy as we prepare to welcome Christ into our hearts once again.

The second collection this weekend is for the Christmas flowers and decorations. I ask for your generosity.

Well, Christmas is finally here. Here is the Christmas Mass Schedule: 5:00 P.M. Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve, December 24 th ; 12 Midnight and 9:00 A.M on Christmas morning, December 25 th .

The second collection next weekend will be for the Church roof.

I wish each of you a very Blessed and Merry Christmas! As we gather on Christmas to celebrate with family and friends, let us bring the light, love, and peace of the newborn King to those we meet today.

Merry Christmas!
