Dear Parishioners,
Our sympathy to the family of Scott Skoblik, whose funeral will be at 10:30 on Thursday at Our Lady of Victory. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Most especially during this soon-to-start Christmas season, I pray for all who have lost loved ones this year, and pray that this sacred season brings comfort and joy to them as we remember the hope we have because of Christ's incarnation, death and resurrection.
The fourth Sunday of Advent! Shorter than average, we still have a few hours to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord. We have our Advent Penance Services Sunday afternoon, and if you have not yet given yourself the gift of confession, please do so. We will have only two -1 pm at OLV and 2:30 at St. Anne's. If we are 'full' we will have reason to ask to have our 3rd service restored for during Lent.
Wednesday evening at 6:30 in the meeting room of the School, we will watch the movie "The Nativity Story". The reason is that the chairs are a little more comfortable there than in the Church Basement. If you wish, bring some goodies to share. For those that have not yet seen the movie, it is a beautiful reflection of the Christmas story, and would be a great way to extend Christmas Joy. Bring the family - bring blankets and pillows for the kids to sit on the floor if they wish. We definitely fixed the sound problem with a PA system, so it should be enjoyable.
Just because it is so close, though a little early: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
