It is a time when the words, "Come, Lord Jesus!" take on new meaning in our families, and we all long for a new beginning. We long to shed the burden of regrets in the past, and to rediscover within ourselves a hope that longs for the future, which is ready to begin anew. So, after last week s focus on the Wonder of Advent, attention turns this week to the peace and serenity of repentance. For if our participation in Advent is to reach its fullness, it must include intentional and ongoing repentance. Please join me for Nativity s Advent penance service this Tuesday, December 18, at 7pm in the main upper church. Experience the blessing of forgiveness and the precious gift of inner peace. May Christ bless you and your family in our Advent journey. FPH Liturgy Reconciliation Service - Tuesday, December 18, 7pm Please join us for our annual parish Advent penance service this Tuesday evening in the church. Eleven priests are scheduled to be available to hear Confessions, so as many people can receive the sacrament as swiftly as possible. Come, Lord Jesus!

"I could not put this book down and give it an enthusiastic recommendation! This generation, so badly wounded by the sexual revolution, needs to read Patricia Sandoval's story of triumph. Patricia is truly a light for the world, and her story will leave you speechless." - Astrid Bennett Gutierrez, EWTN Host and Executive Director of The VIDA Initiative.

Employment Nativity School Maintenance Nativity School is looking to hire for a part-time evening position (5:30 9:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and 5 9pm on Fridays) on the Nativity School Maintenance team during the school year. The ideal person for this job would be interested in maintenance work, but would not need to have prior experience, as we will provide all of the necessary training. Primary duties would be helping with the cleaning of the school hallways using the auto-scrubbing machine and buffing floors using the floor burnishers. If you are interested in applying or have questions, please contact Steve Boatman, Nativity Facility Director, at sboatman@nativity-mn.org or (651) Stewardship Year-End Giving The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 can significantly impact a taxpayer s status and method of preparing to file taxes. Here are a few ways to take advantage of its provisions to potentially lower your tax bill through charitable giving: Making charitable gifts to Nativity Church or School from your IRA as a Qualified Charitable Distribution If you are 70.5 years old and have a traditional IRA, you are likely required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) each year, and that distribution is fully taxable. However, did you know that you can direct your RMD from your IRA to the charities of your choice and pay zero tax on the distribution? If you are taking funds from your IRA and also making charitable donations in the same year, making Qualified Charitable Distributions to a favorite charity is taxfree. Bunching contributions into a Donor Advised Fund for later gifting If you no longer itemize deductions, you may not be able to use your charitable deductions to lower your taxes. Many donors are bundling a few years worth of their charitable giving into a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). The full tax deduction is available for the entire amount placed in a DAF in a single year. The donor can then make annual distributions to charities over many years on their own schedule from the DAF. This allows for a large amount to be itemized in a single year while providing many years of future charitable distributions. An added benefit is that the fund balance grows tax-free each year, so you have even more to give to Nativity Church, Nativity School, or other charities of your choosing. Finally, always talk to your advisor for advice on the tax benefits of your personal charitable giving. And please remember Nativity Church and School in your year-end giving. If you plan to make a gift through your broker, please contact Laura Barr, Nativity s business administrator, for directions or assistance at lbarr@nativity-mn.org. Or, consider making a gift or setting up a periodic electronic fund transfer on Nativity s website at Thank you for your generosity to Nativity of Our Lord.
