OUR LADY OF JOY NEEDS ALTAR SERVERS
Do you feel called to serve God in a unique way and
with love for His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ? As an
Altar Server, you will see Mass in ways that others
may not and your service will be “For the Greater
Glory of God.”
The requirements for Altar Servers are:
Family must be registered at Our Lady of Joy
Server must actively practice the Catholic Faith
and should receive the Lord often in communion
If age 18 or older, must have current Diocese of
Phoenix Safe Environment Training
All Weekend Masses and all Weekday Masses need
Servers! Adult men are particularly encouraged to
serve at the weekday Masses and the 7:30 a.m.
Sunday Mass.
If you meet the requirements and have a calling to
serve Christ, contact Deacon Jim Gall at
602-692-5320 or [email protected]

ST. CHARLES APACHE MISSION SCHOOL CHRISTMAS GIFT DRIVE
Our Lady of Joy has a tradition of providing K-7th grade students at this school on the San Carlos Reservation
with Christmas gifts. Red gift bags and the children’s wish lists will be
distributed after masses on December 2-3.
The gift bags will be collected on the weekends of December 9-10 and
December 16-17. Please know that these may be the only gifts these children receive this Christmas.
Questions: Contact Jody Svitak at 970-333-8578 or [email protected] or Marian Kuzma at 480-431-2929 or [email protected]
PERPETUAL ADORATION
Perpetual Adoration in the Queen of Peace
Chapel will resume after the 8 a.m. Mass on
Friday, December 8, the Feast of the
Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin.
Adoration provides a way of rendering God
His due as our Creator, of giving Him thanks
for our redemption, of making reparation for
our sins and the sins of mankind, and of
petitioning the good God for the constant
help we need.
Sign-ups for Adoration will be held before
and after each Mass the weekend of
Nov. 25-26 in the church courtyard. Please
answer the call to spend one hour with Jesus.

Catholic Thoughts David Lins, Director of Faith Formation
The Christmas shopping season is upon us with less than forty days until Christmas. Many people are putting up their lights. Even more have begun to browse Amazon for the perfect gift. Others have picked the perfect day to decorate a tree. A few are strategically placing mistletoe. Still others might have entered into negotiations about how much time will be spent with each extended family. Whatever you situation might be, there is no denying that Christmas is coming once again and certain things must be done to get ready. Two key questions remain: what things really need to be done...and what are we getting ready for? I remember having a less than pristine home growing up. As a result, any time company would be coming over, It became an all-hands-on-deck emergency situation. It was nonstop cleaning for days. When company finally arrived, mom would sheepishly say, “I’m sorry it is such a mess.” Every single sibling would try not to giggle. The point is that when honored guests were on their way, my family would do everything possible to honor the company in advance of their arrival. The challenge for us, with only thirty six days left, is to do everything possible to honor Jesus in advance of His arrival. If you enjoy this column, please consider making time to attend a special retreat I’ve been preparing (ad on page four of this bulletin). Consider making an extra effort to get to daily Mass. Commit to an hour a week before the Blessed Sacrament in our chapel. Find a spiritual book in our book store to read. Oh...and confession is always a good idea! An honored guest is coming soon. All hands on deck! Questions? Comments? Email David at [email protected]
