CChristmas 2016 We need to give

thanks to God for the role we play in His plan for the world.

Today, we celebrate the Good News of our sal-vation: the Birth of Jesus Christ as one of us, a human being. God has always shown His love for us in nu-merous ways: through the beauty of creation and the love of our families and friends. Today, He shows this love in a very special way: in the Birth of His Beloved Son into our world — God’s gift to all of us!

Please pray for all our deceased Parishioners & Benefactors, especially John Di Mascio, that they may know God’s

eternal love of Heaven.

IIMPORTANT COLLECTION NEWS FOR CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR!

Thanks for your weekly financial support; your sacrifices make our Parish work well!

This year, the holydays of Christmas and Mary, Mother of God (the New Year) fall on a Sunday. We can take a big hit on our regular Sunday Collections that would be taken up on their own when these two holydays are on any other day than a Sun-day.

Therefore, on December 25 and January 1, our First Collection will be for the Holy-day, and the Second will be the regular Sunday Collections. Thanks in advance for being super generous in these key Of-ferings!

And keep living the Faith at Holy Mass each Sunday, and prayerfully & thought-fully every day, one day at a time with the Lord Jesus!

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to the Christmas Holiday, this week’s Parish Bulletin went to press on Friday, De-cember 16, and no collection figures for the weekend of December 17/18 were available; they will appear in an upcoming Bulletin.

PARISH POLICIES & PRACTICES FOR RECEPTION OF THE SACRAMENTS

Baptism The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on the first and third Sundays of the month at 1:30 PM in the Up-per Church. Please make arrangements with a priest at the Rectory at least one month prior to the Baptism.

Pre-Jordan Program After meeting with a priest and prior to their child’s Baptism, parents are required (Godparents are strongly encouraged) to attend this Session, held in the Rectory on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 PM.

Requirements for Godparents 1. A Godparent cannot be the mother or father of

the one to be baptized. 2. A Godparent must be at least 16 years old, a

Catholic who has received the Holy Eucharist and has been confirmed. If married, he/she must be validly married in the Church and must not be cohabitating.

3. Although one Godparent is required, there can be two Godparents: a man and a woman.

4. Non-Christians cannot be Godparents, but a non-Catholic Christian can serve as a Christian Witness to the Baptism.

Becoming A Godparent or Sponsor? You Will Need a Letter of Eligibility A letter from your parish is required to become a God-parent for Baptism or a Sponsor for Confirmation. This letter indicates you are a practicing Catholic in good standing. It is therefore necessary to be a registered member of the Parish in order to establish eligibility.

All Godparents and Sponsors, even if they are from Maternity B.V.M. Church, must present a letter of eligibility issued by their parish.

Holy Eucharist/Reconciliation Children of the Parish, including those enrolled in the third grade of the Parish School, PREP (Parish Reli-gious Education Program) and Private Catholic Acad-emies, receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation (usually in the Fall) and First Eucharist (Spring) of each year. Children in Private Catholic Academies should contact the Parish School. Prior to receiving a sacrament, children in PREP must be in the program at least two years or come from a Catholic School or an-other PREP.

Confirmation Children of the Parish, including those enrolled in the sixth grade of the Parish School and PREP, are invited to participate in a program of preparation for receiving

the Sacrament of Confirmation. Prior to receiving the Sacrament, children in PREP must be in the program for at least two years or come from a Catholic School or another PREP. Parents of students from Private Catholic Academies and students in Grades 7 through 12 who have not as yet been confirmed, please contact the Parish School. Adults wishing to receive the Sacra-ment of Confirmation must be involved in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) Program and are asked to please contact the Rectory.

Sponsors for Confirmation Qualifications to be a Sponsor at Confirmation and to receive a Letter of Eligibility are the same as those of a Catholic Godparent at Baptism (see section under Bap-tism). Candidates for Confirmation choose a Sponsor other than a Parent.

Matrimony Couples planning to marry in Maternity B.V.M. Church should notify one of the Parish Priests as early as possible, and no less than six months prior to the desired wedding date, so that appropriate assistance in marriage preparation may be provided. Please be sure to arrange a wedding date and time with the priest be-fore making any commitment for your Reception. Vis-iting priests are welcome to officiate, but you must still contact one of the Parish Priests to officially set the parish date.

Pre-Cana Instructions Each couple is required to attend a Pre-Cana Program of Marriage Preparation. Our Parish offers Pre-Cana Sessions in the Fall and Spring. Registration forms can be obtained at the Rectory. Our next scheduled Pre-Cana Session will be held on February 25, 2017.

Anointing of the Sick The Sacrament is given to seriously ill Catholics by calling the Rectory and arranging for this by appoint-ment or whenever there is an emergency. Parishioners scheduled to undergo surgery should contact one of the priests so that they may be anointed before their medi-cal procedure. This can also be done at Church when you come to Mass.

Holy Orders Those who think they may have a calling to the Priest-hood can contact one of the Parish Priests in order to discuss this matter and receive appropriate direction for pursuing such a calling. They may also call directly to St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Wynnewood, PA.
