St Thomas the Apostle Church Page 2 Peoria Heights, Illinois

On behalf of the entire faculty and staff of St.

Thomas Parish and School, we wish you and

your family every blessing at the Birth of Our

Lord.

With Christmas coming soon, it is good for us to

reflect with gratitude on all that the Lord has

done for us. More important than any other gift

we could receive is the birth of the

Messiah. Jesus reminds us of the profound love

that God has for us. God loved us so much that

he sent his son into the world, not to condemn,

but that the world might be saved through Him.

We also reflect on the humble way that Jesus

comes to us, born not only as a little child, but

also appearing to us in such humble, lowly, and

poor circumstances. What has been hidden

from the learned and the clever has been

revealed to the childlike. Blessed are we if we

recognize that we are all children of our

Heavenly Father as we come humbly to adore

before the birth of the Christ.

We pray for safety for all those who are

traveling. We give thanks for the gift of family,

and I hope that you may all be blessed with the

gift of peace from the Prince of Peace who has

come to us.

Wherever you may be in the coming weeks,

take time to honor Jesus on Christmas, and to

also remember the Blessed Mother on January

1st as we celebrate Mary, Mother of God.

-Msgr. Gray

Fourth Sunday of Advent On the Fourth Sunday of Advent, we remember

the Blessed Mother and honor her along with St.

Elizabeth. This Sunday, we celebrate with Mary,

the mother of Jesus, and Elizabeth, the mother

of John the Baptist, as we recall the mysteries of

the Visitation.

In just a few short days since lighting the fourth

candle of the Advent Wreath, we will honor the

Lord’s birth at Christmas. Christmas, along with

Easter, is one of the holiest days of our liturgical

year. It is the culmination of all our preparations

during the Advent season. The fundamental

mystery of Christmas is the Incarnation: The

God has become man and taken on our

human condition. The Word was made flesh

and has dwelt among us. All the prophets

taught us to expect the God-with-us

Emmanuel, but no one could have predicted

how Jesus would marvelously come so close to

us in this mystery. We can only stand in wonder

and awe at the plan of God’s love that unfolds

before us on Christmas.

Although the Christmas season is short, it is filled

with many important feast days. During the

Octave of Christmas, we celebrate the Holy

Family on Sunday. Jesus did not come into the

world in isolation, but with the cooperation of

Mary and Joseph. The feast of the Holy Family

reminds us of the importance of our families

and of our bonds with one another in our

community.

On the Octave of Christmas on January 1st, we

celebrate Mary, Mother of God, a Holy Day of

Obligation. This feast traditionally marked the

eighth day on which a male child was

circumcised according to Jewish ritual and

given his name. On this day, we honor Mary

who is so closely connected to Jesus that she

can rightly be called the Mother of God. This

title is connected to the Incarnation, since Mary

gave birth to Jesus who is truly and inseparably

both God and man.

On the 12th day of Christmas, we celebrate the

Epiphany in which we honor the revelation of

Christ to the world. The word Epiphany refers to

the light that “shines forth” which occurs as

Jesus reveals himself more and more. The

Epiphany is a time to celebrate various

moments when Jesus was revealed, but

especially the appearance of the three wise

men who offered their gifts to the Christ child.

The Christmas season ends the follow week as

we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord and the

beginning of his public ministry. In this

celebration, we remember especially the most

important work of John the Baptist who was

chosen for this special task.

Christmas Gifts At this time of Christmas many of our parishioners give their Christmas

offering to support the parish. We are most grateful for your generosity.

If you intend for your gift to be given to the clergy please indicate that

clearly on your envelope or check. Your gifts are very much

appreciated. However, please do not bring in food items, as we do not

want these gifts to go to waste.

My wife, Becky, and I completed

Thanks from St Vincent de Paul Society, 2018 The St. Vincent DePaul group continues to grow because poverty is

forever present. The group currently has 36 members who are willing to

give of their time and energy to see clients in distress, to staff the food

pantry, and to support the Coming Together to get Ahead (CTGA)

program. We try to alleviate the poor’s needs thru both short- and long-

term solutions. We are dependent on the contributions of our parishioners

every month.

Here is a summary of our activities from October 1 2017 through

September 30, 2018:

1)The Food Pantry served 1500 families (average family size 3, a total of

4,089 people) 1500 volunteer hours were spent stocking shelves and

distributing food twice weekly. Food sources include the Midwest Food

Bank and the Peoria Food Bank; In addition, to assure healthy food

sources, on occasion, we shop locally. This cost $8,955. We are ever

cognizant of high-quality nutrition for our clients.

2)Client visits; historically this has been the core of our efforts. Every

request we get from the diocesan office, we see , mostly in a home visit

by 2 people. There were 257 visits this year, affecting 666 people. Our

visits give us a chance to see their circumstances and evaluate needs.

They usually call for financial reasons (rent, utility payments, etc.) We

commonly detect financial, educational, training, or other needs. We

look for community resources to assist them. A few of our clients will have

no furniture- children sleeping on the floor, etc. Some are at risk for

eviction, loss of utilities. They are a step away from homelessness.

Expenses associated with these visits were $67,606 over this period

3)CTGA is a recent Vincentian effort to encourage more of our clients to

make sustained changes in their life, to get up out of poverty. We look for

motivated people who have been in distress and are willing to study their

problem. Sessions last 16 weeks, Mentor volunteers are recruited from the

Vincentian conferences.

We try to use our knowledge of resources available to help our clients

attain some stability in their lives. We are not always successful. However,

in the Spirit of St Vincent DePaul, we continue trying

We sincerely thank you for your continued giving for the Vincentian

cause. Your donations this year totaled $79,304.

If you are interested in this work, would like more information, we would

be happy to talk to you. Call 309-258-2326. Our meetings are the 2nd

Tuesday of the month, 7PM

October 1, 2017—September 30, 2018

Food Pantry Expenses 8,955

Client Support 67,606

IRA Required Minimum

Distributions – Donation

Opportunity There is good news if you have reached age 70

½ and you would like to help (your parish,

school, ministry). If you have an IRA, the

government requires you to take out a certain

amount each year and be subject to federal

tax. However, the law allows you to donate this

amount directly to (your parish, school, ministry)

during 2018 and have it distributed free of

federal income tax! What a wonderful

opportunity for those 70 ½ to help (parish,

school, ministry). Please contact the person

that handles your retirement plan or your tax

advisor.
