Welcome Visitors: The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in this church. Please maintain reverence,

respectful silence, and a prayerful attitude. Individual communicants are invited to kneel at the

altar rail to receive Communion (unless unable to kneel). For the reception of Holy Communion,

one must be in communion with God and neighbor, in a state of grace and not in a state of mortal

sin. And finally, please remember the way we dress for Mass shows our internal disposition

toward God.

SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

Sursum Corda (“Lift up your hearts”) is our parish youth

group for teenagers. It meets on Friday evenings from

6:30-9:00 (during the school year) and serves as a

catechetical opportunity for those age 13 through senior

year in high school who are preparing to receive the

Sacrament of Confirmation (a two-year program). Those

who have already been confirmed are also welcome to

attend. There is lots of fun, faith, and food. For more

information and registration, please contact Jen Convery

at jenniferconvery83@gmail.com.

All adult Catholics should be confirmed. If you are an

adult and have not been confirmed, please call

Fr. Mulroney at 910-891-1972.

SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY

Fr. Mulroney provides spiritual preparation for the

about receiving this Sacrament.

SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING

OF THE SICK (LAST RITES)

Please contact the parish office to advise of an illness or

hospitalization. The Sacrament of the Anointing is offered

when a Catholic is: in an emergency health situation; in

Santo

Santo, Santo, Santo, es el Señor, Dios del uni-verso. Llenos estan el cielo y la tierra de tu gloria. Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo. Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo. Ben-dito el que viene en el nombre del Señor. Ho-sanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo.

Parish Announcements Continued

New HVAC unit needed

The main body of our church is heated and

cooled by two HVAC units (called gas packs). One is 22 years-old and the other is 21 years-old. Unfortunately, the 21 year-old sys-tem "died" a couple of weeks ago, leaving us with one system for the main body of the

church. We have gotten a quote from the com-pany that maintains our HVAC systems. The amount to replace the HVAC system is

$6,040. That is a lot of money for a small parish like ours. I believe there are a number of pa-rishioners who would want to make a generous

donation to help cover this amount. That would be deeply appreciated. If a person would like to donate to this fund, please put a

check in a regular white envelope marked "HVAC Replacement." Thank you!

Please note: Daily Mass time changes for next week! Tuesday and Wednesday Mass will be at 9:00 am. Also the parish office will be closed from December 24th thru January 3rd. We will reopen on the 4th at 9:00 am.

Las Posadas - TODAY AT 1:00 PM

We will be having a Posada this Sunday, December 20 at 1:00 PM in our vacant lot next to the parking lot. There will be a bilingual rosary, singing, food and drink, as well as caroling throughout the

neighborhood. We invite everyone from the parish to join us for this wonderful celebration in preparation for Christmas!

Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God January 1st is a Holy Day of Obligation. Mass schedule will be:

Friday, December 31 6:30 PM (Ordinary Form) Saturday, Jan 1st 9:00 AM (Extraordinary Form)
