Protectthe Children

Keep holiday parties safe for childrenWine, cocktails and spiked eggnog may make your holidays festive,but they’re no party for young children. Children often accidentallydrink alcohol after holiday parties, by sampling partially emptyglasses and what’s left in the punch bowl. Ingesting as little as 3ounces of hard liquor potentially can be fatal to a child weighing 25pounds. Alcohol causes blood sugar levels to drop, which can lead toconfusion, seizures or even comas. Clear away all glasses and otheralcoholic containers immediately as soon as guests leave after yourholiday party. Keep the poison control center phone numberprogrammed in your phone and posted on your refrigerator:(800)222-1222.

Our Advent Gift to YouThis year we have purchased copies of the December issue of GiveUs This Day for your Advent preparation.Daily prayers, readings and reflections are not only available for thedays leading up to Christmas but through New Years Eve.These booklets are available in the narthex.

First Friday Eucharistic Adoration"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment,there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host."

— Pope Benedict XVI, February 22, 2007

When we enter the Chapel for EucharisticAdoration we do not find a symbol or relic. Wefind Jesus Himself waiting for us to visit. All thetreasures and wonders of this world are nothingcompared to the One we find in Adoration.
