TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last week, we looked at a form of nativity scene called a presipio, characterized by framing the crèche of Jesus with a vast array of personalities and a rich geographical context. The tradition was carried to the New World, and finds very rich expression in Latin America today. While in Europe the presepio was reserved mostly to the homes of wealthy nobles and great churches, in Latin America it was claimed by the poor and expressed the skills of native artisans. In Mexico, you can still find clay figures in every village market. In a way, the native people took the religion of Spanish rule and baptized it with their Indian culture by surrounding the crib of Jesus with local geography and people. In Brazil, where Christmas falls in summer, the figure of the baby Jesus is wrapped in gold and gems, and set on a hillside surrounded by flowers and animals of all kinds. Sometimes there is a double presepio, presenting both Nativity and Crucifixion. In some places in Latin America, even non-religious people take care to have a presepio in the home, sometimes dedicating one whole room in the house or apartment to the scene. Some cities have markets where people from the countryside sell plants and figurines. In Cuzco, churches and families provide hot chocolate for the children of the poor who come down to help create the nativity scenes. In Paraguay, the baby Jesus grows—the small infant who arrives on Christmas Eve is replaced at New Year with a toddler Jesus who holds in one hand the globe and in the other a cross. Few Christmas traditions have the vitality and variety of presepios and crèches honoring the Nativity.

As we prepare for the epis-copal ordination of Fr. Shawn McKnight as the Fourth Bishop of Jefferson City, there are a great many things the Diocese must do to prepare and plan for the upcoming events. We would like to invite all Catholics in our Diocese to offer prayers, acts of sacrifice, and works of mercy both for Bishop-emeritus John Gaydos and for Bishop-elect Shawn McKnight. These will be presented to the Bishops as a spiritual bouquet. Spiritual Bouquet cards are in each entryway of church. Please return completed cards in the collection basket or to the church office by January 21, 2018.

The Youth Ministry Office, and the Jefferson City Young Adult Community, are happy to announce that Reignite 2018 will be held at Tolton Catholic High School in Colum-bia, January 6-7. This overnight retreat is for high school students who want to deepen their call to discipleship and their relationship with Christ. Strategically scheduled over winter break, this is a time for students to have their Faith Reignited before returning to the busyness of school and life. Although Reignite does not serve the purpose of a Confirmation retreat, we encourage all Catholic students to attend – especially those that have attended a retreat previ-ously. Please pray for the success of Reignite, and of our young disciples! For registration forms, visit https://diojeffcity.org/reignite/
