Greetings! This week we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent. We hear about two pregnant women in a Judaic hillside, sharing news that had been awaited for hundreds of years—the messiah is on the brink—thoroughly reveling in God’s great gift. They experienced the movement of life within themselves, blessed one another and praised God.
Please pray
Lord of all, inspire us to connect with family, friends, and others who may be isolated this Christmas, so together we may experience the quiet joyfulness that comes with sharing our lives. We ask this in your holy name. Amen.
Volunteers are needed to help decorate the church for Christmas--tomorrow, 12/18, beginning at 9am.
Christmas Open House
this weekend after all Masses
Join us in the Rectory after Mass this weekend to share some Christmas cheer and light refreshments with Fr. Canisius and your parish family. It won't be the same without YOU! (If you usually park on the church lot, and are not planning on attending the Open House, you are encouraged to use the rectory or school lot instead, so you will not be blocked in after Mass.)
