With the growing concern for people's privacy it becomes increasingly more and more difficult to know if our parishioners are sick, in the hospital or even in Hospice care. If you know of someone or if you would like for us to visit someone, please contact Deacon Mark Sholander at (678) 466-1708 or [email protected].

Hearing Devices are available for your convenience located in the back of the Church

Online Giving During the Holidays! It is through the donations of every individual and family in the congregation that we are able to carry on our work now and throughout the year. If you need a con-venient way to make recurring contributions or plan to make an addi-tional gift before the end of the year, we encourage you to check out

our electronic giving options. As the pace of life speeds up around the holidays, you may find electronic giving a most welcome way to make contributions.

To set up a recurring giving schedule, visit us online at HolyTrinity PTC.org and locate the Online Giving button. Or if it's easier, complete a paper authorization form and return it to the church office. Thank you for your generosity and support!

If you would like to add someone to the Sick List in the Bulletin, contact the Parish office at (770) 487-7672. The name will be published in the bulletin for 6 weeks. You may call at anytime and have the name removed. Ongoing illnesses and special intentions may be placed in the Prayer Intention book located in the back of the church.

Holy Trinity Christmas Concert Saturday, December 14

7pmAre you looking for a way to

add a new tradition to help

get prepared for Christmas?

Honor the Advent season by

coming out to listen to mem-

bers of Holy Trinity's Choir

and the musical group

"Music Alive" as they per-

form an annual concert that

celebrates the excitement of

the birth of Jesus. The con-

cert will be held in the Sanc-

tuary. A reception will follow

in Loreto Hall with refresh-

ments. Come celebrate the

start of the Christmas season

with your family and friends!

Today is the First Sunday of Advent and the beginning of a new liturgical year. As with all New Year celebrations, we begin this Advent with anticipation and hope. We hear about the hope of the Hebrew people for the coming of the Messiah, we believe that their hope is realized in the Incarnation of Christ, and we affirm our hope that Christ will come again in glory. For many of us, Advent is a time of preparedness but not in the way our early Christian ancestors envisioned. Some of us see Advent as the four weeks we have to pull everything together for our Christmas celebrations. It is the time for shopping, baking, decorating, partying, sending cards and working ourselves into a total frenzy. It is easy to get so caught up in the hustle and bustle that we lose sight of the sacred significance of this time. Don't worry about the parties, the cards, the presents, or Christmas dinner. Rather, focus on what is really important: getting ourselves ready for that time when "the Son of Man will come” (Matt. 24:44).

All three of our readings today provide us with suggestions about how we should prepare ourselves for the coming of Emmanuel, God with Us right now. In a vision Isaiah sees people streaming to “the mountain of the Lord’s house” so that God can instruct them in His ways and they can “walk in the light of the Lord”! St. Paul reminds the Christians of Rome and us that we are to “throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light,” and that we must “conduct ourselves properly as in the day.” In our Gospel from Matthew 24: 37-44, Jesus, himself, tells us to “stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.”

I suggest that we approach Advent this year as a pilgrimage, a sacred journey to open our hearts to the real presence of Jesus Christ in our world; and, to prepare ourselves for the second com-ing that we affirm each time we participate in the Eucharist. The best way for us to be ready for Jesus Christ when he comes again, is to be ready NOW because Jesus says, “at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” There are several ways you can begin your preparation for Advent here at Holy Trinity. Advent by Candlelight, an Evening of Fellowship and Prayer with Sohrab Ahmari, is Saturday, December 7. Our annual celebration of Lessons and Carols is Saturday, December 14. Our Advent Mission will be held Sunday, December 15 through December 17. It will be led by Most Reverend Fernand J. Cheri, III, OFM. And our Advent Penance Service is Thursday, December 19 at 6:30pm. Several priests from the Archdiocese will join us for the service. Please join us as we begin our Advent pilgrimage of faith.

Father in heaven, our hearts desire the warmth of your love

and our minds are searching for the light of your Word. Increase our longing for Christ our Savior

and give us the strength to grow in love, that the dawn of his coming

may find us rejoicing in his presence and welcoming the light of his truth.

We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Holy Trinity welcomes our newest parishioners!

Healing Masses

Tuesday, December 10, 6:30pm and Friday, December 13, 12pm.

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be available during this Mass for every baptized Catholic

over the age of reason. Prayer teams will also be available imme-diately after Mass to pray with people for healing and other needs.

Anointing of the sick primarily is for spiritual healing. Physical healing might occur, but it is not the main purpose of the sacrament. Certainly the sacrament should not be expected to automatically cure the sick per-son. Such an expectation tends toward superstition (cf. CC2111). Bap-tized children below the age of reason cannot commit personal sin and so do not need anointing of the sick if they are in danger of death. Rather, when in danger of death, such children can be given confirmation, for spiritual strengthening and more fully to initiate them into the Christian religion.

2 and 3 Night Weekend Retreats

December 6-8. Ignatius imagines the Trinity looking down upon the world in all its chaos. Yet despite its chaos, the response of the Triune God is to enter into the birth of hope into the world in the person of Jesus. During this retreat, we will reflect on God’s hope for the world, God’s unique hope for our own life, and how that leads us forward to hope in the future. Directed by Sarah Otto

December 20-22. The Season of Advent is when the Church, and the Holy Spirit, extends an invitation to consider God’s Holy Prom-ise to “dwell among” us. The fulfilment of this promise touches our deepest hopes and our truest spiritual longings. This

retreat will explore both the meaning and fulfillment of God’s Promise and how this ignites Joy to the World. Directed by Fr. Joe Lingan, SJ

December 27-30. This is a time to remember the gifts of the past, and to look forward in hope for the year that lies ahead. We remember with gratitude the blessings of 2019; the dreams that were realized, and the dreams that were not. And we hope and pray as 2020 unfolds before us. Directed by Peter Fink, SJ
