Page 12 2nd Annual Busy Person’s Retreat for Advent The Busy Person’s Retreat is designed for people who cannot get away for a weekend or longer retreat. It offers you an opportunity to deepen your relationship with God as you prepare for the birth of Christ during Advent. The goal of the retreat is very simple: to come into closer contact with God by means of intentional & focused prayer, with the help of a spiritual guide. Participants attend a short opening and closing prayer service, commit to 15 minutes of prayer each day over a two week period; and meet with an assigned spiritual guide 3 times during the same 2 week period (at a convenient time for the two of you). This program is open to anyone - no experience required AND it’s a great way to experience Advent! Note: It’s okay to make the retreat again if you attended last year. If you are interested in participating in the Retreat, contact Judy Pyke at the Parish Office or [email protected]. Important dates for you to know: Opening prayer service & Introductory Meeting – Monday, December 2rd at 7pm in the Parish Office Fireplace Room. Closing Prayer Service for all participants - Saturday December 14th at 9:30am in the Fireplace Room. Page 13 ST. COLUMBANUS FOOD PANTRY Volunteers needed the day before Thanksgiving!

Page 14 Christmas SHaring with St. Columbanus! Once again, our Sharing Parishes Committee is sponsoring a Christmas Sharing with the families of St. Columbanus, who need our assistance especially this Christmas. We are asking Sacred Heart families to share the Joy of Christmas with a St. Columbanus family. How Can You Help? There are three ways to participate: Option #1: Adopt a St. Columbanus family by purchasing a present for each family member. See Bulletin Board in the Church to choose your family. Drop off of gifts is December 12th and 13th. Option #2: You can donate money to purchase Jewel Grocery gift cards for St. Columbanus families without sponsoring a family. Please take an envelope and send a check made out to Sacred Heart to the Parish Office by no later than December 7th. Option #3: If you feel able, you can do both of the above. Do you have any questions? Need more information? Can you volunteer with Drop Off on Friday Dec. 12 (4-7pm), Saturday Dec 13 (9am-Noon) or Load the Truck on Sunday Dec 14 (11:30am)?
