ATTENTION ALL PARISHIONERS
ALL ARE INVITED TO THESE TWO UPCOMING EVENTS!
THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11 at 12:30pm. The children are so excited about this year's Christmas Pageant and can't wait to share it with the entire Parish. Come and support the performance by your presence. “A Very-Mixed Up Christmas”, has a twist to the story of the birth of Jesus that everyone will enjoy.
Then we party with cookies! Come, share your favorite recipe (or just come to enjoy) all the different Cookies, Hot Chocolate, Apple Cider, Fellowship & more Cookies! Everyone gets a sampler pack of cookies to take home. Fun for all!

The Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, is this MONDAY, December 12. We will celebrate the daily Masses at 7am and 9:30 am in her honor.
At 5:30pm we will have a special Rosary Prayer Service inside the Church, and we invite EVERYONE to come and pray. Pray with us for all your intentions to reach the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, for them to be answered according to His will. We will have a prayer box to place your intentions in the front of the Sanctuary. Anyone who wishes to bring a flower for Mary are welcomed to do so.
Immediately after the Rosary we ask you to join us in procession from the church to the Fr. John M. Phillips Parish Life Center, where we will continue to celebrate the Miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A miracle that is undeniable! During dinner we will have a brief presentation from one of our parishioners and a personal witness talk.
So join us for the Rosary (if you can) or after the Rosary
in the Parish Life Center (begins about 6:30pm),
early enough for our families with children to join us as well,
(all kids love TACOS), so no cooking on Monday evening!
“GUADALUPE FESTIVITY PARTY”
We will share together the culture experience associated with this traditional feast day celebrated all over the world. There will be Spanish Food (including a Taco Bar), Latin Music, Dancing and Lots of Celebration honoring the Miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Come and Bring your Friends!
Babysitting will be available if needed.

Donations to the Retirement Fund for Religious can be made any week in December.
Historically, Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests – known collectively as women and men religious – served for little to no pay. With rising healthcare expenses, hundreds of U.S. religious communities face a large gap between the needs of their older members and the funds available to support their care. As a result, many now lack adequate retirement savings.
Last year, the parishioners in our diocese donated $109,830.84 to the collection. We sincerely thank you. You can place your envelopes in the second collection this weekend or write in the memo of your check "Retired Religious" and place in any collection this month. Click graphic for more info or click above to donate online.

December 2023 Nation Collection is for the Retirement Fund for Religious. |
