December 9th,
Hello parents and guardians.
Happy Second Sunday of Advent! Here is a neat article that provides ideas of how families may choose to observe Advent in their homes.

The Parish has a wide variety of Advent Opportunities; you are invited to grow more deeply into your faith this Advent season! See flier attached
Religious Education will continue for the next several weekends, with our final 2019 session held on December 15th.
Elementary School: December 8th: The Elementary School students learned about Mary. We have lots of Mary celebrations coming up – the Immaculate Conception on December 8 (Mass at 7:30 a.m. on Monday) and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Thursday, December 12.
High School: Discipleship will be from noon – 1:30 p.m.
There is a bake sale this Saturday and Sunday after all the masses to support our young adult leadership. Come get some goodies!
This Coming Sunday, December 15 – A change to the Schedule! Please note!
This year, instead of having the advent “pageant” during class time, each class will celebrate the third Sunday of Advent in their regular classrooms. Please ask your child’s catechist if you can bring in snacks if they will be having food.
After class, the kids will participate in a very special Family Mass – they will be in costume (they will get them during class), sing the opening and offertory songs and all the kids in costume will be able to participate during the homily. Don’t miss this Mass! If your child has an angel, shepherd, king, sheep or barnyard animal costume, they are encouraged to wear it next Sunday (December 15).
Looking ahead:
