Increased Offertory Program

In the weeks ahead, you will be reading more about a new Increased Offertory Program taking place at our parish. This program is an opportunity for all of us to address the most pressing need in our parish through increased giving—the need of reducing our debt. Our hope is to increase our weekly collection by at least 20%.

Each week, this space in the bulletin will be devoted to reminders and important announcements concerning the Increased Offertory Program. Please be on the lookout for more information about this exciting opportunity.

“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your produce.”

Proverbs 3:9

Electronic Giving

To strengthen stewardship at Saints Peter and Paul Parish, we request that you consider utilizing an easier way to support our parish… Electronic Giving.

The History of the Twelve Days of Christmas

Did you know:

From 1558-1829 Catholics in England we prohibited from practicing their faith

at all? Possessing and professing anything Catholic could result in grave con-

sequences. Therefore, in order to teach catechism, the English Catholics com-

posed a song about the Twelve Days of Christmas. The song’s true love

refers to God and the “me” is the fellow believer.

Each gift in the song has a spiritual significance:

1. Partridge in a Pear Tree – Jesus on the Cross

2. Turtle Doves – Old and New Testament

3. French Hens – Faith, Hope, and Charity

4. Calling Birds – Four Gospels

5. Golden Rings – The Pentateuch

6. Geese a laying – Six days of Creation

7. Swans a swimming – Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

8. Maids a Milking – Eight Beatitudes

9. Ladies Dancing – Nine Fruits of the Spirit

10. Lords a leaping – Ten Commandments

11. Pipers Piping – Eleven Faithful Apostles

12. Drummers Drumming – Twelve points of the doctrine in the Apostles Creed

May the spirit of this song help you to forever keep Christ in Christmas.

Always remember that Jesus is truly the reason for the season!

rosis.

Song Book

It Was On A Starry Night:

It was on a starry night

When the hills were bright

Earth lay sleeping

Sleeping calm and still

Then in a cattle shed

In a manger bed

A boy was born

King of all the world.

Chorus:

And all the angels sang for Him

The bells of heaven rang for Him

For a boy was born

King of all the world.

And all the angels sang for Him

The bells of heaven rang for Him

For a boy was born

King of all the world.

Soon the shepherds came that way

Where the baby lay

And were kneeling

Kneeling by His side

And their hearts believed again

For the peace of men

For a boy was born

King of all the world.

All are invited to sing:

O little town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem,

How still we see thee lie.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by;

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light.

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight.

Child in the manager

Child in the manger,

Infant of Mary

Outcast and stranger,

Lord of all

Child who inherits

All our transgressions

All our demerits on Him fall

Once the most holy

Child of salvation

Gently and lowly, lived below

Now as our glorious

Mighty Redeemer

See Him victorious

O'er each foe

Prophets foretold Him

Infant of wonder

Angels behold Him

On His throne

Worthy our Savior

Of all our praises

Happy forever

Are His own

The Friendly Beasts

Jesus our brother, kind and good

Was humbly born in a stable rude

And the friendly beasts

around Him stood

Jesus our brother, kind and good.

"I," said the donkey,

shaggy and brown,

"I carried His mother

up hill and down;

I carried her safely to

Bethlehem town."

"I," said the donkey,

shaggy and brown.

"I," said the cow, all white and red

"I gave Him my manger for a bed;

I gave Him my hay

to pillow His head."

"I," said the cow, all white and red.

"I," said the sheep with curly horn,

"I gave Him my wool

for His blanket warm;

He wore my coat on

Christmas morn."

"I," said the sheep with curly horn.

"I," said the dove

from the rafters high,

"Cooed Him to sleep

that He should not cry;

We cooed Him to sleep,

my mate and I."

"I," said the dove

from the rafters high.

"I," said the camel, yellow and black,

"Over the desert, upon my back,

I brought Him a gift

in the Wise Men's pack."

"I," said the camel, yellow and black.

Thus every beast by some good spell

In the stable dark was glad to tell

Of the gift he gave Emmanuel,

The gift he gave Emmanuel.

Townes Mullinex, Soloist
