The Pope has asked us to study the documents of Vatican II in this Year of Faith; will you answer his call? We will meet for 6 Thursday evenings beginning Thurs-day, January 10th, from 7-8:30pm.

Dear Parish Members: Our Sunday bulletin is an important way for us to communicate with you. Producing it every week could be very costly, but through our arrangement with the J. S. Paluch Company the parish does not pay for the printing, saving thousands of dollars each year. The Paluch Company arranges for the bulletin to be supported through the generosity of the businesses that you see advertised on the back cover. Most of these advertisers are members of our local community, and many belong to our parish. During these difficult economic times, I urge you to support these advertisers with your patronage. Tell the business owners that you appreciate their sup-port of our parish through their advertisements in the bulletin. This is one small way that we can work within our own community to weather the chal-lenges that we face. A strong and vibrant parish is good for our community and a thriving business community is good for our parish.

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios Éste es el tiempo de villancicos interpretados por coros de campanas y con instrumentos de metal. Los directores de coro andan juntando a los trompetistas y a los que tocan cornetas francesas para ensayar las liturgias de Navi-dad. ¿Qué sería un programa especial en la televisión sin campanas, que repiquen en la secuencia final? El alegre ritmo de los instrumentos de metal anuncia la buena nueva de que el Señor del universo ha entrado en la historia humana de una vez y para siempre en el niñito pobre, Jesús. Hay otra clase de campana que parece seguirnos a dondequiera que vamos durante este tiempo del año y son las campanas del Salvation Army. Ellas nos recuerdan que no todos han experimentado aun la buena nueva de la salva-ción. Hay muchos que sufren mientras que otros están sumidos en la abundancia. Las lecturas de hoy nos recuer-dan que el Señor está con nosotros para salvarnos de nuestros pecados, y para que reine así por fin la justicia, el amor y la paz en el mundo. Entonces todas las personas en el pueblo de Dios podrán alegrarse. —Virginia Stillwell Derechos de autor © 2012, World Library Publications. Todos los derechos reservados. Vivamos la Palabra de Dios Cuando rezamos el Padrenuestro en la Misa el sacerdote hace una oración en la que pide al Señor que nos libre de toda perturbación mientras esperamos la venida de Jesús. La esperanza gozosa nos da el espíritu y la confianza pa-ra hacer todo lo que podamos, sabiendo que el poder salvifico de Cristo estará en medio de nosotros.

Reflecting on God’s Word ’Tis the season for bell choirs and brass renditions of beloved carols. Church musicians are rounding up trumpet-ers and French horn players to rehearse for Christmas liturgies. What would a Christmas television special be with-out pealing bells in the closing sequence? The joyful sounds of brass instruments herald the good news that the Lord of the universe has entered into human history once and forever in the poor infant Jesus. There is another kind of bell that seems to follow us wherever we go at this time of year—the Salvation Army bells. They remind us that not everyone has experienced the good news of salvation yet. There are many who suf-fer while others wallow in abundance. Today’s scriptures remind us that the Lord is with us to save us from our sinfulness, so that justice, love, and peace might reign at last in the world. Then all God’s people will be able to rejoice. —Virginia Stillwell Copyright © 2012, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. Living God’s Word When we pray the Our Father at Mass the priest voices a prayer that asks the Lord to free our minds of worry as we look forward to Jesus’ coming. Joyful hope gives us the spirit and the confidence to do all that we can, expect-ing that Christ’s saving power will be present in our midst. Copyright © 2012, World Library Publications.

Stewardship Thought for the Week When excitement builds, as it certainly does for chil-dren at Christmastime, there is often a temptation to jump right into the event without having properly pre-pared for it. We do this too often. Such things take away from the joy of the actual feast. We still have time to properly prepare our souls and our hearts for the true meaning of Christmas. December 9, 2012

227 Adult Envelopes: $4,945.00 + Loose Cash $2,733.00 + Children’s $235.50 = Total Sunday $7,913.50
