Hat and Glove (Mi en and Scarf) Drive Underway For Advent to
Support Chris an Community Ac on The Social Ac on Commi ee of the
Parish is conduc ng the annual hat, scarf, mi en and glove drive to
support those in our community in need. In the past this program
was adver sed through Advent Giving Trees where parishioners were
able to take a tag and fill the request of the gi but this year it
is streamlined. There will be no tags and no trees just the request
to consider do-na ng new winter hats, gloves, scarfs or mi ens
before December 13. The Chris an Community Ac on, where our dona
ons will be delivered are looking for items for children from
babies to
teens. Currently the group is looking for items that will fit:
10 teens (4 male and 6 female), 7 pre-teens (3 boys and 4 girls), 9
youth (5 boys and four girls), 6 children (2 boys and 4 girls), and
5 babies (3 boys and 2 girls). If you could label your dona on as
to the size, it would be helpful. There are no adult sizes listed
above but any dona ons for adults will be donated to those adults
in need. Please leave your dona on in the big red bin located in
the Church and the parish social ac on commi ee will package up the
gi s and deliver to the organiza on for distribu on. Thank you for
your generosity and kindness!
The Figures of Advent The scriptures of Advent reacquaint us
with several key figures in the Bible. All of the proph-ecies of
the season are significant, but the ones that stand out come from
Isaiah. The prophet Isaiah wrote 770 years before the birth of
Jesus yet he foretells the coming of Jesus, (Is 11:1-10) “a shoot
from the stump of Jesse, miraculously born to a virgin.” Jesse is
the father of King David, the greatest king of Israel and it is
from the family line of David that Joseph is connect-ed. As a
result the prophecy comes true, the King of kings is born to the
line of Jesse and it is Jesus. In his wri ngs, the prophet Isaiah
also gives the people hope. Hope is something we need in and out of
the Advent season. There is hope that God will intervene in our
difficul es (Is 64:1-4), God comforts Jerusalem and the glory of
the Lord will be revealed (Is 40:1-5), and Isaiah even iden fies
Jesus by referring to him as Emmanuel, “God is with us.”
John the Bap st is another key figure in the Advent readings
during Mass. John the Bap-st prefigures Jesus in many ways;
mysterious events led up to both births, the two pregnant
mothers visited and greeted one another and miraculous signs
heralded the births of both children. John grows to preach about
the coming of the Lord while issuing a call to repent-ance and then
John suffered a cruel, premature death at the hands of an authority
both in-trigued and fearful of him. In birth, life, and death, John
prefigured Jesus. The third great figure of this season is Mary,
the mother of Jesus. Advent includes two of her celebra ons, the
Immaculate Concep on and Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Immaculate
Concep on on December 8th (Mass celebrated at 7:30 a.m. and 6:30
p.m..) celebrates the belief that Mary lived completely without
sin, even from the moment of her concep on. God thus made her a
worthy vessel to receive the Word made flesh. On December 12th the
Church celebrates Mary’s
appearance to Juan Diego in Mexico, where she delivered her own
message of deliverance and hope. In addi on, scriptures of this
season highlight Mary’s life with the annuncia on by the angel
Gabriel, Joseph’s encounter with an angel in a dream, the visita on
to Elizabeth and Mary’s saying yes to God in his plan for salva on.
Three important figures are highlighted in the Advent season, three
people who show and live out salva on history, the history that we
come to thank God for and celebrate with great joy and happiness at
Christmas.
