Memorial Gifts At the death of a loved one, many choose in lieu of flowers to encourage friends and family to make a donation to a special charity or cause. Our Lady of Mercy has nourished the spiritual life of so many parishioners and those throughout the Diocese who come here. A Memorial Gift to our Traditions for Tomorrow Building Campaign is a wonderful way to acknowledge the lives of our beloved dead with a gift of loving generosity to the church that has been such a spiritual home. Ms. Deanie Smith can discuss ways for you to remember your loved one. Consider adding a planned gift in your last will and testament to remember Our Lady of Mercy.

5 Called to Action PARISH LIFE ADVENT CONCERT HANDEL S MESSIAH SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16 TH 4:00 PM OUR LADY OF MERCY CATHOLIC CHURCH The Fifth Annual Advent Concert featuring the OLOM Chancel Choir will present the Christmas portion of Handel s Messiah this Advent Season. Bring the whole family for an hour-long, candle-lit, musical event which includes the ever popular Hallelujah Chorus among other classic features. Messiah is an oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel. Handel uses a scriptural text to tell the events of the life of Jesus in three parts: Prophesy and Birth; Passion and Resurrection; and the Promise of Eternal Life. Since its premier, the oratorio has risen in popularity, becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. It begins with prophetic promises of the birth of the Christ, many from the Old Testament book of Isaiah. The actual birth of Jesus is revealed, and then Messiah narrates the experience of the shepherds outside of Bethlehem, completing the birth story. GARDEN OF PEACE Dear Parishioners and Friends, I am very pleased that many are already responding so positively to the Columbarium Garden now in the pre-construction phase. I want to remind you that for those who have researched costs for cremation resting places - the Mercy Columbarium Garden is an incredibly good deal and significant cost savings. I encourage you to make your appointment now with Ms. Deanie Smith. Post-construction pricing will certainly rise as the Mercy Garden will become a more and more desired sacred place for the placing of cremains. Pre-arranging these details is a great gift to your spouses, children, and families. Make your appointment now. May God Bless Our Beloved Dead! BATON ROUGE, LA 5

6 Called to Action PARISH LIFE LA War Veterans Home The Giving Tree Collection for the Louisiana War Veterans Home will end on December 14th. Please drop off any items for this collection to the Church Office before the collection date. Life Night Sunday, December 16th 7:00-9:00 pm Emmanuel Hall All students grades 9-12 are invited to Life Teen s first Study Center! Emmanuel Hall will be open from 3:30pm-9:30pm for students to study and prepare for their exams. There will be food and drinks available, as well as study break options in other rooms - a Christmas movie, games, etc. Students are free to stay for a short time, or stick around for the long haul. Happy studying! The last Bible Study before Christmas break will be Thursday December 20th in the JPII House from 6:30-8. Bible Study in the new year will be held on Tuesdays from 6:30-8 in the same location. For more information, contact: Ms. Tori LaBelle tori.labelle@olomchurch.com (225) Family Reflection for the ADVENT SEASON Pray together Manage the media Give children chores and responsibility (so they see the family working together) Eat supper together Put your marriage first (mom & dad need time together) Campus Safety As the holiday season approaches, please do not leave your purse or any valuables visible on the seats or floor of your car. Place all of your valuables in the trunk of your vehicle in order to avoid anyone who might be tempted to something the Lord would not want them to do. It is recommended that you do not give cash to anyone soliciting money. This only encourages repeat behavior and is somewhat fearful to those in the Adoration Chapel and the elderly. If you want to support the needy, then give to the St. Vincent de Paul Society where your generosity will surely help the poor and hungry. Holy Name Society The Holy Name Society promotes reverence for the Sacred Names of God and Jesus Christ, obedience and loyalty to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and the personal sanctification and holiness of its members. Members are called to contribute to the evangelization mission of the Church and to make perpetual acts of reverence and love for our Lord and Savior. The apostolate of the society is to assist in parish ministries. The Holy Name Society meets in the Parish Activity Center every second Sunday of the month following 7:00 am Mass. For more information, contact: Church Office (225) OUR LADY OF MERCY PARISH

7 Called to Action PARISH LIFE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION THE LIGHT IS ON FOR YOU! Prepare the way for the Lord, cried John the Baptist from the desert to the people of his time. As Catholics, we are given the opportunity to heed St. John s call by readying ourselves for the Lord s coming during this Advent Season through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Several churches in our diocese, including Our Lady of Mercy, offer this special opportunity to receive the Sacrament by hosting Reconciliation Services through The Light Is On For You. Have you been putting off going to Confession? When was the last time you received the Sacrament of Reconciliation? This prayer is for you: Lord, help me genuinely accept that You have taken all my past - all sin I have committed or accusation against me. Since You do not condemn me, help me renew my thinking & not condemn myself. Rather, I want to live in the Joy, Peace, & Freedom You have purchased for me by Your death and resurrection in Jesus name. Amen Opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation at Our Lady of Mercy: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19 ACTS RETREAT While utilizing prayer, service, and teaching, the ACTS Retreat meets people where they are in their spiritual journey and invites them to experience God in a manner that is both personal and communal. Throughout the weekend, participants are invited to prayerfully consider how they can respond to God s love by spiritually surrendering to Jesus in order to have new life with Him. This invitation is extended through the pillars of the apostolate: Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service. This experience is an opportunity for spiritual renewal and the making of many friends. Fr. Cleo invites you to prayerfully consider joining a group of men/women from our parish to make this spiritual retreat at The Solomon Center in Loranger, Louisiana. The cost of the retreat is $255 per double occupancy room for Mercy parishioners and $330 for non-parishioners. Men s Retreat - departs Our Lady of Mercy on Thursday, March 14th and returns for noon Mass at Mercy on Sunday, March 17th.

10 THE SEASON OF GIVING In this Holy Season of the Savior s birth, I cannot think of a more beautiful and holy place to worship our Lord Jesus Christ than here at Our Lady of Mercy. Our parish provides tremendous opportunities to celebrate the Sacraments of Holy Mass and Confession. Our strong witness to the power of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in the Adoration Chapel, and our commitment to St. Vincent de Paul and our outreach to the poor and needy, truly are a bright light in a world that can seem very dark. Our Lady of Mercy functions not only as a vibrant and active church family but also as a shrine for the City of Baton Rouge and our Diocese. The doors of Mercy are open to everyone. That is why one of the best charities that you can support during the Christmas Season with your end of the year financial giving, is our own parish. So many people are affected in a good and positive way when you support your church family. If you love the legacy of Mercy and want to continue the light of Christ shining so brightly, I encourage your continued faithful giving in this season of offering our generous heart to God. God Bless Mercy s faithful families and may the Light of Christ shine more brightly through us. Happy Advent! Fr. Cleo Photo by Darlene Aguillard Our Lady of Mercy - Leave a Legacy 10 OUR LADY OF MERCY PARISH
