Second Sunday of Advent
“Therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” (Matthew 3:10)
Do you bear good fruit for Christ? Or, do you spend your time, talent, and treasure constantly acquiring more toys, clutter, and junk. Our time, our talent, and our treasure are gifts that God has given us. What we do with them is our gift back to God. What gifts are you planning to give to the Lord during this upcoming Christmas season?

Retirement Fund For Religious
The second collection on December 8th is for the Retirement Fund for Religious. Thousands of Senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests working in Catholic Schools, hospitals, and agencies - often for little or no pay. Now, their religious communities do not have enough savings for retirement and eldercare. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide medications, nursing care, and more. Almost 94 percent of donations aid senior religious.
Please be generous.

Presentación de Antífonas
17 de diciembre a las 7pm en el Santuario
|
|
Ante la inminente llegada de Cristo al mundo, la tradición cristiana estableció el rezo de las grandes antífonas, conocidas como las antífonas de la O por su comienzo, en las Vísperas de los siete días previos a la Navidad.
En la Liturgia de las Horas y antes del canto del Magnificat, las antífonas de la O relatan las diferentes cualidades del Mesías y las diversas necesidades del linaje humano. Asimismo, estas antífonas relatan las profecías de Isaías sobre el nuevo Redentor del mundo.
Las antífonas de la O ensalzan la grandeza del Mesías que adelantaron los profetas en el antiguo testamento: Sabiduría, Señor nuestro, Raíz de Jesé, Llave de David, Oriente, Santo de los Santos, Rey de las naciones, Emmanuel y Pastor de Israel. Así, cada día las antífonas enaltecen una de estas grandes virtudes de Jesucristo según la profecía de Isaías. Son breves oraciones que recogen el espíritu del Adviento y la Navidad.

You can't give a lethal injection to serial killers, pedophiles, school shooters, but you can give a lethal injection to an unborn infant.
Take a moment and let that sink in.

The Christmas Giving Tree
This is the last weekend to make an ornament selection!
Please stop by the narthex to see our COKAS Christmas Giving Tree decorated with ornaments identifying children, adults and seniors in our community who need remembrance or assistance over the upcoming Christmas holiday. Ornaments on the tree include those identified by our COKAS ministries (St. Vincent de Paul, Martha’s Closet, KOC), and by local nursing homes and Boys and Girls Clubs in our multi-county parish area.
If you can help during this season of giving, please remove one or more ornaments. Gifts need to be returned no later than Sunday December 15th. All the information you need is listed on the front and the back of the ornament.
You may also contribute gift cards or cash if you wish the Christmas Giving Tree team to shop for you. Please return your ornament by December 6th if you would like someone to shop for you.
Thank you for your generosity.

Are you curious when you hear Father Michael mention the Christian author Scott Hahn in his homilies, or do you want to know more about Bishop Robert Barron and his DVDs and books?
Cokas has a library!
The Father Philip Ryan Parish Library on the second floor of the Parish Life Center is well stocked with books and DVDs…and you can access the collection and explore what we have online. Simply go to the COKAS web site and under the “Questions” dropdown menu, go to “Online Library,” and then click on the URL.
The Ryan Parish Library is open on Sundays during PSR, but is always available for individual use by getting a key from the parish secretary during business hours (9:00-2:00.) Self check-out is available, and books can be returned to the box outside the Parish Office.
So feed your soul and satisfy your curiosity - visit the Ryan Library.
