and to those who respond to our many
requests for outreach.
We wish for you and your families a very blessed
and joyful Christmas
ADOPT-A-FAMILY
Worship
MISA DE GALLO
Are your hearts prepared for the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ?
Join us in a nine day novena of Masses sponsored by the
Filipino-American community of St. Andrew’s continuing
through December 23rd.
MISA DE GALLO means Mass of the rooster because the
masses start at 5:30 AM.
After the Mass, breakfast will be served in a Filipino
traditional way.
Stewardship
To all of you who participated, please remember all gifts
will be collected on Saturday, December 19th from 10 AM
to 12 Noon and again on Sunday, December 20th from 10
AM to 12 Noon in the Parish Center by Julie Waicus and
Lisa Papp. If you have adopted a family and have
forgotten the gifts, please contact Julie Waicus at
[email protected] or call 856-261-7300 (cell) or 856768-3340 (home). Thank you in advance for your
gracious generosity in supporting the Adopt-A-Family
Program.
CHRISTIAN CUPBOARD
With the Christmas Holiday
Baskets filled and delivered, we
concentrate once again on the
pantry shelves. An item or two a
week helps keep the pantry
stocked. The shopping carts are
always in front of the Church
before and after all Masses, and
also in the lobby of the Parish
Center daily. As always, if you prefer a gift card from your
favorite grocery store, denominations in the amount of $5
or $10 are preferred. They can be dropped into the poor
boxes.

“Rite of Leaving Taking”

Rev. George Seiter, Presider
All current and former parishioners are welcome!
Humble Stewardship
“You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the
clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who
is to be ruler in Israel.”
Micah 5:1
We may think that the gifts we have to offer may be too
small or too inconsequential to give to God. Today we
are reminded that God brought forth His greatest gift to
mankind, His own Son, through the humble town of
Bethlehem. He can also accomplish great things through
our Stewardship if we generously offer our gifts to Him.
