New Opportunity - You may have noticed the large
black cans located at the foot of the ramp from the lower parking lot and by the parking sign at the upper parking lot. These cans, and one placed in the Parish Center, may look like "garbage" cans, but they are not! They are placed at these three locations so that all of us can contrib-ute to care for our common home by recycling aluminum cans. We will also be helping Saint Bruno Church finan-cially. Here is how it works: Bring your empty aluminum cans to church on Saturday or Sunday each week. Depos-it them in one of the large black cans. Your Laudato Si! Team will cash them in and contribute the proceeds to the parish. The Laudato Si! Team has already contributed $30.00 from collection at the summer festival. Bring your empty cans next week and any week. Take care of the creation God so graciously gave us!

WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE
Each year, this season of
Advent comes around. We bless
one candle each week in
Advent. Let us ask God to bless
our family on this First Sunday
of Advent:
God of new beginnings,
today we begin a new year in
our church
with the image of a wreath.
We ask you to bless our family.
Help us to see our family life as a wreath,
without a beginning and without an end.
As we light this one candle,
we recall how you have changed our family
since we last gathered around the Advent wreath.
Help us to be for others
what this family has been to us—
a helper in times of need
and a source of abundant blessings
to share with others.
We ask this through Christ,
who is the Alpha and Omega.
Amen.
