Our St. Vincent de Paul Outreach Ministry is once again sponsoring children at the Guardian Catholic School, children of our SVdP pantry and parishioners. Please take a tag from the tree in church, purchase a gift (no greater than $25 val-ue), and return the wrapped gift with the tag from the tree on it ON or Before Sunday, December 16th. When you give a gift to a child in need, think of the smile on his or her face Christmas morning. You feel truly blessed.

Is a typical Filipino way of prepar-ing for the great feast of Christmas. This beautiful Catholic Church Tradition is an expression of the Filipino’s filial devotion to Mary, the Mother of God. For nine consecutive nights, they join and accompany her, as she awaits the birth of her Son. The Masses on these nights are celebrated as solemn votive Masses in her honor. We invite you to join us this coming December 22nd at 7:30 pm as our parish hosts the 8th night of the Simbang Gabi.

When liturgies outside of Mass are scheduled

[e.g., baptisms, weddings, wedding convalidations] there must be a sacristan or parish staff member request-ed to open and close the church. Please assure that the person who will assist is noted when the event is placed on the parish calendar. Without that information and planning, the liturgy cannot be done. —Deacon Jack Cuando se programan liturgias fuera de la misa [por ejemplo, bautizos, bodas, convalidaciones de bodas] debe haber un sacristán o un miembro del personal de la parroquia a quien se le solicite que abra y cierre la igle-sia. Por favor, asegúrese de que la persona que asistirá se anote cuando el evento se coloque en el calendario parroquial. Sin esa información y planificación, la liturgia no se puede hacer. —Deacon Jack
