Christmas Good Wishes… I would like to take this opportunity
to wish all of our Church Families peace of mind, peace of soul, and peace of heart during
this Christmas time. May your homes be happy
and peaceful places, and may our loving savior find a warm welcome in our hearts and souls
during this special time of year. Merry Happy
Christmas to all! – Fr. Ruane
Sincere Gratitude… I would like to sincerely thank
anybody and everybody who
had anything to do with our Christmas Parish Family Supper. Sincere thanks to Jeannie
Logan, Heather Oaks and Kathleen Cooper, who spearheaded the decorating of our Family Life
Center, and to the Knights of Columbus for preparing the food for the terrific turn out of
our people. A special thank you to Lee Munstenteiger, Chris Major and Nick Palazzola for
erecting our Christmas Nativity scene which does remind us of the little shack where Jesus
was born. And especially to all of those who helped clean up after the supper.

A Blessing… We were blessed to have four visiting
priests join Fr. Ruane for our Christmas Reconciliation Service [Confession] and to a very
good turn out of our people, anxious to receive the forgiveness and grace of this Blessed
Sacrament.
R.C.I.A. We are taking a break until after
Christmas to give everybody a chance to get ready for the Birthday of Christ watch
bulletin announcements for next meeting.
Please… We sincerely ask those who are
assigned as Lectors or Eucharist Ministers if you cannot fulfill your assignment please
call a substitute so the Masses will run more smoothly, especially during the holidays.
New Envelopes… Sincere Gratitude to our
many parishioners who support our parish and Building Fund so generously as a Church
Family. The participation of all when possible is so important, please pick up your new
envelopes and if at possible use them regularly. They are in alphabetical order in the
entrance of the church.
Choose Life… “Every child with Down syndrome,
every adult with special needs, in fact every unwanted, unborn child, every person who is
poor, weak, abandoned or homeless—each one of these persons is an icon of God’s
face and a vessel of His love.” [Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver,
Southern Cross, November, 2009]
