The service of Lessons and Carols originated in 1880 at Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, England, when the rector prepared a simple service of readings for Christmas. The Advent version of Lessons and Carols seeks to reclaim the significance of the preparatory season leading up to the Nativity with a combination of hymns and Scripture readings.

FINANCIAL REMINDER: We are most appreciative of the contributions that everyone has made throughout the year. We are most thankful for the D/PSC rebate that we have received. Many of you may look at the amounts and wonder, What does Fr. Nau do with all of that money? Keep in mind that I can use only contributions listed under adult collection for the general operations. For example, we send subsidy checks to the Catholic Schools that total $14, each month. As you can see that takes almost two weeks collection. $5, must be sent to the Diocese for monthly parish assessment and insurance premiums. As you can see, we have a $19, financial commitment before paying any utilities for the Holy Rosary and Holy Name complexes. Please keep this in mind when you read the weekly listing of Parish support. SCRIP SPECIAL SCHEDULE: LAST DAY FOR PLACING SPECIAL ORDERS - TUES., DEC. 11TH.

6 CONDOLENCES (CCC 1405) There is no surer pledge or clearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens and new earth in which righteousness dwells, than the Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated, the work of our redemption is carried on and we break the one bread that provides the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us live forever in Jesus Christ. With this great hope we pray for our brother and sisters who have died: Fred Bell, 66, November 15 Catherine Miss C Costantini, 64, November 19 Rose Velto Kalinowski, 86, November 20 May they enjoy the eternal banquet the Lord has prepared for them.

This provision will expose more unborn children to abortion as government-funded genetic testing provides an increasing number of parents the opportunity to abort children with disabilities.
