Cuando retornamos a nuestro hogar tras una larga ausencia, rápidamente volvemos a su manera de hablar y a sus prácticas familiares. Nuestros profundos recuerdos se reflejan en viejas historias y palabras y en modos de conversar. Esta familiaridad corre como un río subterráneo y nos acompaña a donde sea que vayamos. November 28, 2018 December 4, 2018 No solamente recordamos, sino que somos incorporados y formamos parte de una memoria más amplia. Cuando traemos recuerdos a la mente somos a la vez reunidos y recordados. Hoy recordamos a María, una joven frágil, que recorre zonas rurales para visitar a Isabel. Todos los grandes pronunciamientos y sueños de los profetas apuntan a este tiempo en que deben cumplirse las palabras del Señor a María. Las memorias de su pueblo están vivas en ella, y esas memorias alimentan nuestra fe viva. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

4 PASTOR S POST by Fr. Albert DeGiacomo THE DAWN OF RADIANT BEAUTY Your light will come, Jerusalem; the Lord will dawn on you in radiant beauty. You will see his glory within you. He comes, the desire of all human hearts; his dwelling place shall be resplendent with glory, alleluia. The antiphons and prayers at the end of Advent speak with growing excitement and anticipation of the birth of the Messiah. Our Christmas liturgies and church will illustrate these texts beautifully. The Christmas Eve Mass at Midnight, in particular, manifests the radiant dawning of Christ s Light. This place, inside and out, will be filled with glorious light and hopefully, so will we! All of us here in the office, together with our deacons, join together, in wishing all of you a joyous Christmas, filled with Christ s Peace, the principal Gift of Christmas and the desire of all human hearts! Again, we rejoice over you and thank you for our kindness and generosity toward us and this wonderful parish of Saint Andrew and also our mission, Saint Mary, during this past year. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Now, let us rejoice all the days of this Christmastide, up to and including the Baptism of the Lord! Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and forever! Father Al NO ADORATION of the Blessed Sacrament on Wednesday, December 26th. THE LUNCH BUNCH The Lunch Bunch formally known as Senior Luncheon Group wants to invite ALL Parishioners to join us for some fellowship! We have scheduled monthly luncheons on the last Friday of each month after the 11:00 Mass (with the exception of November and December due to the holidays)! PLEASE JOIN US ALL ARE WELCOME! Please help keep our Sanctuary clean. After Mass on the weekends, if you could kindly tidy up your pew and the area around you. Our current cleaning service does not do this for us, so we need your help in keeping our Sanctuary looking nice. Oh, and don t forget to take home your bulletins! There will be NO choir practice on Wednesday, December 26.

5 HOW TO REQUEST A MASS INTENTION Those wishing to honor a loved one during the celebration of Mass for the living or the deceased, or for prayerful remembrance of anniversaries, birthdays, and other special intentions may call or visit the office. Masses are usually scheduled months in advance, so if there is a particular date on which you want the Mass Intention, please make the request well ahead of time. The suggested stipend for each Mass is $5.00. COLD & FLU SEASON and COMMUNION The flu and cold season is underway. When we suspect illness, each of us can help decrease the spread of illness by not receiving the Precious Blood of Christ from the cup during Communion. The Social Events Committee is sponsoring a drive to supply the homeless with gentlyused coats, gloves, sock hats, long underwear, socks, and blankets. Please check your closets for anything you can give. There will be tubs in the foyer for the donations. The donations will be given to our local homeless population and any children's items will be taken to the local school resource centers. LITURGICAL MINISTRY SIGN-UPS can be found in the Foyer. Please sign-up for the New Years Masses ATTENTION: If you serve as a Liturgical Minister PLEASE arrive for Mass at least 10 minutes early and sign in on the sheet in the sacristy. Thanks in advance!
