December 11th ~ Third Sunday of Advent
Anointing of the Sick—Anyone facing surgery or dealing with a serious illness should contact the parish office or Fr. Kevin for the reception of this sacrament. Anointing before surgery can be done prior to or after Mass on the weekends. Please call the parish office to inform us if you are in need of this sacrament.
Reconciliation—Saturday at 4:15pm or by appointment. Communal penance services are also held twice yearly.
Sacrament of Marriage—Please contact Fr. Kevin at least six months in advance to insure ample time for planning, preparation, and scheduling your wedding.
Communion to the Sick and Homebound—If you or someone you know is ill, in the hospital, or homebound, please notify the parish office so a visit can be arranged. Fr. Kevin, one of our deacons, or an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist will be glad to bring Holy Communion.

PAGINA 7
Reflexiones para la Homilía
Puede que algunas personas se imaginen la salvación y el salir de sus propias dificultades como un acontecimiento dramático y espectacular. Jesús hoy les dice a sus amigos que no busquen grandes signos externos, ni a alguien muy bien vestido, ni a un milagrero como su salvador. Mas bien, dice miren a ver donde se encuentran los signos de salvación: cuantas personas pueden ver, porque ustedes les dieron un buen consejo; cuantas personas escuchan, porque ustedes les dieron buen ejemplo y les hablaron con amor y no con recriminación; cuantas personas son curadas de sus memorias dolorosas, porque ustedes tuvieron paciencia y compasión para escucharlos y para, amorosamente, darles signos de esperanza. Cuando hoy se nos anuncia en la primera lectura que el desierto florecerá, no se dice que vaya a pasar de la noche a la mañana y sin que nadie haga nada, es decir, sin agua o nutrientes. Se dice que hay que esperar pacientemente, mientras que se ofrecen los signos de vida y esperanza a todos por medio de la paciencia para soportar las dificultades con calma y paz, y la espera activa de Jesús que vendrá, no como una gran señal espectacular, sino como un anuncio de esperanza, luz, consuelo y sanación para quienes son pobres y para los que sufren.
