Dear Parishioners,
As we prepare for the show to go on, tickets ($20) for Second
Time Around—a fundraiser for our St. John Neumann School as well
as for Holy Cross School on the west side (the only two parochial PreK-to-6 urban Catholic schools still left in Rochester)—are available
after each Mass today (checks payable to “ Sisters of St. Joseph”).
Fifteen of our two schools’ students appear on stage. Performances at
Geva are 1/27 @ 7:30 P.M., 1/28 @ 2:00 P.M. & 7:30 P.M., 2/3 @
7:30 P.M., and 2/4 @ 7:30 P.M. Also, room is still available in the
show’s Playbill program for your ad as a patron or a sponsor ($25
for a single line up to $1,000 for a full page—also payable to “ Sisters
of St. Joseph”). Ask ticket sellers for details. Last year when this
show (part of which I wrote some 30 years ago) was performed at
Geva for another cause, all performances were sold out. So don’t wait
to get your tickets or take out that ad. What a great stocking-stuffer!
Many thanks to all who made last weekend a wonderful celebration of the season: those who donated food or gifts or delivered them
all to the 65 waiting families at their homes, and those who made the
St. Lucy’s Mass and Dinner a special occasion for all who attended.
Monday is our bishop’s 49th anniversary of ordination. Here at
the parish, our Finance Council meets on Monday evening. Many
thanks to its members who keep vigil over all our fiscal resources.
T uesday, the parish Men’s Club has their Christmas meeting and
party at 1:00 P.M. in the hall at St. John the Evangelist on Humboldt
Street. T uesday evening is our 2nd and final Advent Penance Service
at 7:00 P.M. at St. Ambrose (no Confessions on Christmas Eve/Day).
Wednesday begins Hanukkah. Blessings to our Jewish neighbors!
Thursday, winter begins at 12:30 A.M. during our longest night.
Friday is the perfect day to take stock of our blessings and perhaps prepare our envelopes for year-end giving. We all receive many
appeals in the mail at this time of year. Please, remember the one
charity that is here for us 24/7 for hospital and anointing calls, plus all
our family baptisms, weddings and funerals throughout the year, let
alone our liturgies every weekend, our faith formation program and
St. John Neumann School, and our many social events from weekly
coffee hours to special annual happenings. CMA gifts now may also
help your taxes. Thanks, too, for your support of the 200 Club. The
Club recently gave the parish $2,000 from its proceeds to help with
our new Roman Missals and other needs common to our three sites.
Saturday, there is no 4:30 Mass, but there are three 4:00 P.M.
Masse s, one at each church, plus an 8:00 P.M. Mass at St. James, an
11:00 P.M. Mass at St. Ambrose (carols start at 10:30), and also a
Midnight Mass at St. John the Evangelist (carols start at 11:30).
Next Sunday, Christmas, there are none of our regular Masses.
Given the 6 Masses on Christmas Eve, there will only be an 8:30
A.M. Mass at St. James and a 10:30 A.M. Mass at St. Ambrose. Pax
Noel!

The Nativity of the Lord
First Reading:

Second Reading:
Heb. 1:1-6
Gospel:
John 1:1-18
Year B
In the season of Advent, we eagerly await the
coming of our Lord at Christmas, and look to the
day when he will “come again in glory.” Just as a
family preparing a home for the birth of a child, we
prepare our hearts and minds for Christ’s coming
into our world, our nation, our church, and our
family. Practically speaking, this means Advent is
more subdued than Ordinary time. We scale back
our music, we quiet our voices before Mass, and
we dim the lighting… all to help us listen to God’s
invitation, the invitation to welcome his love into
our life and circumstances, no matter how humble
or imperfect, just as Mary welcomed Jesus into
her womb so many years ago. We step back and
ask ourselves, will the traveler, the stranger, the
Christ child find a loving home in our hearts?
Hopefully he will find a generous welcome fit for a
king!

Neumann School New s
Last week the families of students in Pre-K through Second
Grade, joined together for a wonderful night of Bingo. It was Picture Bingo and the images were all from the Nativity scene. As
children searched for the shepherd on their card, shouts of
"Bingo" rang through the crowd. Two of our students, Raphael
Ortiz, Grade 3 and Brent Penwarden, Grade 4, served as the callers for the event and did an outstanding job. It was an exciting
evening for everyone with pizza, fellowship and fun!
Thanks to our Parent Involvement Committee who sponsored
this family friendly activity.
TEACHER WISH LISTS— Each of our teachers at St. John Neumann give a lot of their resources to outfit their classrooms. Each week a list of some small and large items that would help make their classrooms even better will appear

CHILDREN’S CHOIR on CHRISTMAS EVE
As in past years, the Children’s Choir will
sing on Christmas Eve at the 4:00 PM Mass
(at St. Ambrose worship site). This is a wonderful opportunity for children to experience a
church choir (but with a short term commitment). No prior choir/music experience is
necessary; rehearsals are required and are on the Tuesdays of Advent from 4:30 PM-5:30 PM. Younger children
are welcome, but must be able to read and sit through an
hour rehearsal. The last rehearsal is Tuesday, 12/20, at
St. Ambrose Church.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

From Catholic Charities…
Dear Father Schrader,
Would you please pass on to your parishioners sincere thanks for your donations of $4,814.93 and
$1,000.00 to Catholic Charities to assist the many individuals and families in our Diocese who were affected by
recent floods.
Catholic Charities agencies are already helping victims and their families recover from the devastation and its
impact across the Diocese, by providing emergency food,
clothing, and shelter, and other case management services their communities may need.
The ripple effects from this disaster will be felt for a
long time. Generous donations such as yours will help
fund efforts to meet the needs of the affected communities
in the weeks, months, and years to come in the wake of
this disaster.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Jack Balinsky
Diocesan Director
GIRL SCOUTS
The POC Girl Scouts have been busy, busy, busy
this fall! Our Girl Scout family has grown with the addition of 2 Daisy Scout Troops, a Daisy/Brownie Group,
and a Cadette Troop.
Cadettes from Troops 60420, 60604 and 60598 participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Walk on October 2nd and had a great time!
During November and early December all the
troops are working on Christmas crafts to share with
Hillside Children's Center and local nursing
homes. Troop 60602 and 60279 are planning visits for
caroling and sing-a-longs to spread some Christmas
cheer.
Cookie Season is in full swing and the girls are
working hard to earn enough money to attend the Rock
the Mall 100th Anniversary Sing-A-Long in Washington
DC this June.
Keep your eyes on this space for future adventures
as the girls begin their service projects for the year to
help make our world a better place!
