3 Pastor s Poetry Post-It Jesus was a Healer Jesus was a healer never turned a patient down never charged coin or conversion started off with dust and spittle then re-tuned lives to pattern simply by his attention often surprised himself a little by his unbounded ability. Jesus was a healer reattached his captor s ear open senses, unjammed cripples sent pigs to drown delirium cured a shy tug at his hem learned to transmit resurrection could have stood more Thank You for God s sake, which was his own. Jesus was a healer Keep this quiet, he would mutter to his learners. Copy me and they did to a degree still depicted on church walls cure without treatment or rehearsals. Les Murray (b. 1938, Australia s premier poet) DECEMBER 24, 2016 MASS INTENTIONS Please call the Parish Office at regarding the following Mass Intentions for Dec. 24, 2016: 7:00am Mass: The Melo Family & 8:45am Mass: Madeline Garvey DRIVE FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES The Social Concerns Committee, as part of our outreach program to the Highbridge community, is conducting a drive for NEW school supplies.

Gerard J Roggemann, Coordinator ph fax groggemann@hiparish.org This weekend our communion hymn is This Bread That We Share. It was written by Dominic MacAller, the director of liturgy and music at Padre Serra Parish in Camarillo, California. Dominic is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University (LMU) with a Bachelor s Degree in Choral Conducting and piano. He developed a great passion for musicianship and musicality under his teacher, mentor and friend, Paul Salamunovich, and decided music was his vocation. Since 1994, Dominic has been singing tenor in the Los Angeles Master Chorale (LAMC) and was part of a small select chorus from the LAMC that sang for the gala dedication of Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and which, previously, had given the U.S. premiere of John Adams' opera El Nino, both in Los Angeles and in New York, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. While at LMU, Dominic became acquainted with Bob Hurd, a prolific composer of liturgical music, and has worked closely with Bob as part of the small vocal ensemble Anawim. Coincidentally, Bob Hurd is the composer of our Entrance and Offertory hymns this weekend. An accomplished composer, arranger and pianist, Dominic has served occasionally as accompanist for Legacy, another Los Angeles-based chorus. His singing, arranging, playing, conducting and contracting have been featured on a number of recordings for Oregon Catholic Press (OCP), the publisher of our hymnal. Dominic earned his Master's degree in Choral Conducting from California State University in Fullerton and was an auditor/participant in the conductor's master class with Helmuth Rilling at the 1993 Oregon Bach Festival in Eugene. He lives in Ventura County with his wife, and daughter who is a vocal performance major, along with two dogs, and one cat. Please DO NOT leave games, books, stuffed animals, toys, clothes, used vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, electronics, kitchen ware, etc. We cannot donate these items. Holy Innocents will advertise in the church bulletin when a collection will be held and where you may drop off your donations. #490 Page4

5 Do you remember a special person who helped you to see God more clearly? Follow Jesus more nearly? Love more dearly? Maybe you want to be that person to some of our Children in the Religious Education Program. There is a need for Catechists to share their Faith and Jesus teachings to the afternoon and evening classes. Catechists needed for the following afternoon classes 3:15-4:45pm: Monday, 1 st Grade Tuesday, 1 st, 4 th, 5 th Grades Wednesday, 3 rd, 4 th, 5 th Grades Thursday, 5 th Grade Assistants needed for all Monday-Thursday sessions. (2) Catechists needed for each of the following evening classes 6:45-8:15pm: Monday Evening 6 th Grade Tuesday Evening 7 th Grade Wednesday Evening 8 th Grade Assistants needed for all evening sessions. Catechists are offered guidelines, curriculum, and support from the Director and other Catechists. It is an awesome experience to witness a Child falling in love with God. You may be interested in sharing a class with another Catechist that is always a possibility. The Requirement to be a Catechist is; you have received your Sacraments of Initiation, are a practicing Catholic, and a desire to share. The success at Holy Innocents is due to the many dedicated Volunteers who offer their time, talents, and treasures. Assistants can be any age and only need a willingness to help and support the Children and the Program. If you would like to volunteer please call the Religious Education Department at #490 Page5

God's messengers will teach many nations about God. Just as the Israelites bring offerings, these messengers will bring people from all nations to worship. Second Reading: Hebrews 12:5-7, The Hebrews are told that God disciplines those he loves. When a parent disciplines a child, the child usually learns what is expected of him. The Hebrews are encouraged to face life's trials as a form of discipline, and attempt to learn something from them. Gospel: Luke 13:22-30 Jesus warns that the door to God's kingdom will be locked for those who ignored his wishes. Many people will come from all nations and take their place in God's kingdom. Others will not be recognized by God, and he will reject them. #490 Page6
