2 Dear St. Nicholas Parishioners, This, we continue to hear about John the Baptist in our preparation to remember that first Christmas. John is the one sent from God to testify and prepare people to receive the child Jesus, the Light of the World. John is not the Messiah and he knows that. Like him, we are called to go into the world and point the way to the Lord. We are not the light; however, because of our baptism, the light shines in and through us, so others will recognize the Lord. John preached the need for repentance, and one of the best ways to prepare ourselves for Christmas is by receiving the sacrament of penance. We will have our Advent Penance Service this Wednesday evening, December 20th at 7pm. We will begin with a brief prayer service followed by the opportunity for individual confession. This year, we will be coming to confession with lines as we do for Communion. The priests will be in the transepts of the Church and around the altar, and when one is ready the next person in line will go to him. Please follow the instructions of the ushers and be patient as you wait and prepare to go to confession. This is a blessed time for us to prepare to meet the Lord at Christmas and every day of our lives. Fr. George Christmas Flower Donations We will be accepting donations of Poinsettias (preferably red) in memory of your loved ones to help decorate the Church and Parish Center for Christmas. Please bring the flowers to the Parish Office by Thursday, December 21st. SIMBANG GABI St. Nicholas Parishioners are invited to come TODAY, Sunday, December 17th, at 6:30pm in the Church. Simbang Gabi is a Filipino Catholic tradition celebrated as an Advent Novena Mass to prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone is invited. A reception will follow in the Parish Center. Advent Penance Service Wednesday, December 20 Our Parish Penance Service is Wednesday evening, December 20th at 7:00pm. We will have about 15 priests present to hear confessions. I ask that everyone be seated in the main body of the Church because we will be using the large and small parking lot sides of the Church for our Confession stations. As you arrive for the service, please come and fill the seats in the front of the Church because we will be approaching the priest only from the center aisle of the Church, beginning with the front and moving to the back as we do with our Communion procession. Ushers will be present to direct you. Please be patient and understanding as you follow their guidance and instruction. Remember that this is a time to receive God s blessing and mercy as we prepare to meet the child, Jesus, in our hearts and lives. Fr. George Windows in our Confessional Doors I have wanted to put windows in our confessional doors since I arrived at the parish, and kept putting it off; however, the time is right to complete this task. The purpose of this is twofold: it will help to let those coming to confession, where there is a line, see if someone is in with the priest, and it will be a sign of transparency and security for the penitent and the priest. In this season of giving, a very generous offer from one of our parishioners to assist in paying for a specific project was brought to my attention and so we will be completing this task in the next couple of weeks. We will also be getting new round tables for the downstairs large hall so that we do not need to keep moving them from the upstairs hall. Thank you to this parishioner for this special gift and to all who help to support our parish. Fr. George All Parishioners are invited to this Hispanic Group event: Thursday, December 21 Las Posadas at 6:00pm in the Parish Center. Las Posadas commemorates the journey that Joseph and Mary made from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a safe refuge for the birth of the baby, Jesus.

December 17, 2017 Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 The Sacrament of Reconciliation In recent weeks, the Gospel has featured John the Baptist and the need for repentance. Repentance is defined as the contrition for sins and the resulting embrace of Christ in conformity to Him. The Sacrament of Reconciliation provides the opportunity for us to acknowledge our sins with true sorrow before a priest, repent, and reconcile with God. If it has been a significant time since you have been to confession, don t be afraid to ask the priest to help you walk through the process to make a good confession. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last week, we looked at a form of nativity scene called a presipio, characterized by framing the crèche of Jesus with a vast array of personalities and a rich geographical context. The tradition was carried to the New World, and finds very rich expression in Latin America today. While in Europe the presepio was reserved mostly to the homes of wealthy nobles and great churches, in Latin America it was claimed by the poor and expressed the skills of native artisans. In Mexico, you can still find clay figures in every village market. In a way, the native people took the religion of Spanish rule and baptized it with their Indian culture by surrounding the crib of Jesus with local geography and people. In Brazil, where Christmas falls in summer, the figure of the baby Jesus is wrapped in gold and gems, and set on a hillside surrounded by flowers and animals of all kinds. Sometimes there is a double presepio, presenting both Nativity and Crucifixion. In some places in Latin America, even non-religious people take care to have a presepio in the home, sometimes dedicating one whole room in the house or apartment to the scene. Some cities have markets where people from the countryside sell plants and figurines. In Cuzco, churches and families provide hot chocolate for the children of the poor who come down to help create the nativity scenes. In Paraguay, the baby Jesus grows the small infant who arrives on Christmas Eve is replaced at New Year with a toddler Jesus who holds in one hand the globe and in the other a cross. Few Christmas traditions have the vitality and variety of presepios and crèches honoring the Nativity. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
