Jim This week marks the end of our present Liturgical Year. Next week the new year begins with the First Sunday of Advent. This Advent will begin some new things in our Cluster. First, we will begin having time for the Sacrament of Reconciliation before all Sunday weekend Masses. We have already started this in some parishes. Watch the bulletin for the times and more information. Secondly, we will be placing the processional cross in the worship space during the Mass, not hidden in the sanctuary. Some parishes have been doing this, others are just starting. Watch for the changes and the new witness to the crucifix during the liturgy. RCIA Expand and strengthen your faith of what the Catechism of the Catholic Church really teaches, each Wednesday from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. This week s class, Nov 29, the discussion will be: Two sacraments of Initiation: Baptism and Confirmation "Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'" - Mt 25:34-36 CHRISTMAS PARTY!

FORMED.org - Advent Studies and Scripture Reflections available on Formed, include the following: Advent: It s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, or, at least that s the assumption based on that familiar holiday song. But what does that look like at your house? Most of us anticipate the great sales at the mall on the day after Thanksgiving, string lights on the outside of our house, and decorating the inside of our homes. But how exactly are we preparing our hearts for the greatest gift we ve ever been given? Through an exploration of the mystery of the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, and the events surrounding the arrival of Jesus, this Advent study offers an opportunity to experience the joy of the true meaning of Christmas. Opening the Word: Advent through Christmas, Year B: A program offering prayer and insights for the Sunday Readings. Catholicmatch Iowa Thank you for supporting our advertisers.
