Nativity of the Lord: Christmas

REFLECTION

During the Advent Season we have contemplated the three “comings” of Christ: in history, at the end-times, and into our

hearts. Today we celebrate the Nativity of the Lord – his coming in history – as fully as we can. In celebrating the Nativity,

we fervently pray that our dear Lord will also be born in our hearts. Then we, like the Blessed Mother, can share his presence

with the world around us.

Order forms are available on the school website under the “Giving Tab” for cards we don't carry in stock but can easily order. By using these cards, not just for gifts, but also for your everyday shopping, the school will greatly benefit. For more info call 301-475-9795.

Father Andrew White School

Collects: Boxtops for Education, Labels for Education

and Tyson A+ Program Labels. Last year the school earned $2,000 from them! You can

bring your boxtops and labels to the church and put them

in the boxes at the doors of the church and we will give

them to the school.

Lighthouse Catholic Media CD & Book Rack Visit our kiosk and find inspirational CDs, pamphlets and

books on our Catholic faith. These items are very reasonably priced. Some are an amazing savings compared

to online ordering. They make great gifts.

Call the Rectory: Please keep us informed at the Rectory Office if someone is sick or hospitalized. We can add their name to the prayer list. They can also have a visit from Fr. John. If someone in the community has died, please call the Rectory so that information can be shared about funeral arrangements.

Collection for Church Mission in the US and the

Archdiocese for the Military Services

On the weekend of January 14-15, we will take this

collection which supports home mission dioceses in

this country that are unable to offer their people basic

liturgical, pastoral and service ministries without

outside help. It also supports spiritual services to

those in the US Armed Forces.

Thank you to everyone who supported the WARM Program at Camp Maria this week. The guests were treated royally by Our

Lady’s Parishioners!
