3 From the Pastor My dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: Immaculate Conception This Thursday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. This is a holy day of obligation. A candlelit vigil Mass with Gregorian chant will be offered 7pm Wednesday. Masses will be celebrated on Thursday at 8am, 9am, and 7pm. The Immaculate Conception celebrates Our Lady s special grace by which she was preserved from the stain of original sin at her conception. This was in order that she might be a fitting vessel where the Son of God would dwell. I invite you to come and venerate the Blessed Virgin! Bambinelli Sunday! This blessing of the Baby Jesus is an excellent opportunity for families and individuals to grow in faith as the "domestic church," praying together in anticipation of the coming of the Savior. All who are interested are invited to bring an image or figurine of the Baby Jesus to be blessed at the 11am Mass Sunday, December 11. Individuals and families may use this opportunity by placing their Baby Jesus in the crèche or other prominent place in their homes, making Him the center of their preparation for Christmas. I hope through this devotion we may all better prepare our hearts for the birth of Our Savior! Parish Mission Dr. Cahall, Professor of Historical Theology at the Pontifical College Josephinum Seminary, will be presenting our Advent Parish Mission Living God s Plan for Married and Family Life December 11, 12 and 13 from 7-8pm. Childcare will be provided. Come and grow closer to Christ as a family this Advent season. May God reward you, Fr. Dury 3
