A MESSAGE FROM FATHER RICH
Please pray for our 2nd graders as they will be receiving their First Reconciliation this Wednesday. This season is also a time for us to consider using the sacrament in our own life. Besides the normal Saturday afternoon schedule time for confession we will also be having a Penance Service on Monday Dec. 11th at 7:00 pm with extra priest available to hear confessions. This Friday is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a Holyday of Obligation. Masses will be:
Dec. 7th at 7:00 pm Dec. 8th at 6:00 am and 7:45 am
As you make out your Christmas donation please consider a gift to the Adopt-a-Student program as the number of families that could use some financial help is larger than the money available. The decision on the amount of money awarded is based on income of the household, number of individuals in the household and also the extenuating circumstances which are beyond their control.
Have a great First Week of Advent.
God Bless, ~ Father Rich

DEACON NEAL’S REFLECTION CORNER
The first reading today from the Book of Isaiah speaks of a people longing for God. That is the theme of Advent. I’d like to rec-ommend you listen to a song titled “Redeemer Lord.” See the words below. Search YouTube for Redeemer Lord - Jesuits (linked) . It is a song of longing but also a song of hope in the refrain. Have a powerful Advent.
God bless,
Deacon Neal
Redeemer Lord, by John Foley, SJ

You are our Father, Redeemer Lord are You. Why must we wander, so far away from Your truth!
Open the heavens, return to our side. You are our Father, Lord our guide.
Come back to Your servants now. Give back O Lord Your light.
The pathways are parting now we choose Yet You hide from our sight:
Rupture the heavens, come back to our lives: Come down to Your people, Lord of Life.
My Shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need. Fresh and green are the pastures where he'll lead. REPEAT
Your world doesn't know You now, they close their eyes to You.
O where are the wondrous deeds You do, all for those who were true?
Sunder the heavens and come to our aid. Lord, look how Your people stand afraid.
Where is Your answer? I cry my days to You. A worm and no man am I, despised by all in my gloom.
Lord will You hear me, take heed of my heart? O why must You let Your love depart?
My Shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need. Fresh and green are the pastures where he'll lead. REPEAT
You are invited to include our homebound or nursing home resident parishioners in your Christmas Greetings list.
You will find their addresses below along with some of our former priests and religious.
Let’s brighten their Advent/Christmas Season!
