HAPPY
NEW YEAR! This
is the first Sunday of the new Church year. It’s also the first Sunday of the
Church season of Advent. The color of the season is violet to show we’re in a
time of quiet preparation for the coming of the Messiah. During Advent we hear
John the Baptist telling us to repent, to change our lives for the better, and
to make straight the way of the Lord.
For
those of you who follow the Bible readings of the Church, our new church year (December 1, 2013 to November 29, 2014)
will be known as Year A.
CHRISTMAS HYMNS WITH CHILDREN: The children in Grades 1-5 who participate in
the Religious Education Program on Thursdays will be invited to sing Christmas
Carols before the 4:00 Mass on Christmas Eve.
Practices will be at the Parish Center after the religion class on
Thursday December 5th and at St. James Church on Thursday December 19th. Parents whose children will participate are
asked to pick up their child at 4:00 PM on those days.
RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS. Your donation to the special Retirement Fund for Religious
collection next week helps provide necessities such as prescription medication
and nursing care for retired religious sisters and brothers.
