Note: Saturday Dec. 8th is the Feast of the Immaculate

Conception of Mary — Mass will be at 11:00 am

It is a Holy Day of Obligation-

Holy Day Saturday, Dec. 8th — 11:00 AM

St. Joachim & St Anne are the parents of the blessed

mother Mary. They are the Grandma and Grandpa of

Jesus. What we know about Mary's parents comes

from the Gospel of James. Not part of the Bible, it is

a respected text, written around 170 AD. It gives

insight into the early life of Mary. Joachim was

described as a rich and pious man of the house of

David, who regularly gave to the poor. But as his

wife was barren, priests of the temple rejected his

sacrifices. Childlessness was interpreted as a sign of

God’s anger. So, Joachim went into the desert for

40 days where he fasted and did penance.

Angels appeared to this holy couple and promised

them a child. In an answer to their prayers and

suffering they were given the daughter Mary, who

was conceived without sin, a virtue we will remember

next Saturday on December 8— The Immaculate

Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of

Christ. This year Bishop Warfel did not abrogate or

dispense this feast Day—It is a Holy Day of

Readings: First Sunday of Advent: Jer 33: 14-16; 1THes 3:12-4:2; Lk 21:25-28, 34-36 (3)
