For the children it is filled especially with holiday excitement. But as the years pass and maturity sets in, the Christmas Season fills us with a hope beyond the good giŌs, the party planning, the baking and shopping. We come to a deeper place of hope for all that God desires for us. And He desires that we be happy with Him in this world and forever in heaven. That is why the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Truly God, was conceived in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary and was born into our world in the town of Bethlehem and given the name Jesus. God came into our world to save us, to ransom us from our sins and to show His love for each of us and for every person on the planet. This Christmas Season let us desire God above all else. May it bring you many blessings and a deeper awareness of God’s love for us. In His love and mercy, INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CATHOLIC? Come and see what is involved in becoming Catholic. Every Wednesday evening at 7 PM in Meeting Room 7 we meet to explore what being a follower of Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic Tradition is all about. This is an open forum to ask your questions and find out more- whether you are unbaptized, baptized in another faith tradition or a Catholic wishing to complete the sacraments. You may also come to the “GOT QUESTIONS” table in the Church Courtyard (weather permitting) every Sunday after the morning Masses and talk to Cathy or Steve. If you need more information, call Elsa Lusk at the Parish Office 8423000 x12 or e-mail your questions at [email protected]. End-of-Year Gifts 2014 Father Jerome T.

Page Four Diciembre 21 / 25, 2014 St. Vincent de Paul Church Ministerio Hispano “LA MANERA MÁS RÁPIDA A LA SANTIDAD PARA LA GENTE OCUPADA!” Navidad 2014 Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo: Cada año anƟcipamos la celebración de la Navidad con esperanza y felicidad. Especialmente para los niños, esta época está llena de emoción por todo lo que sucede en estos días. Pero a medida que maduramos con los años, la época de Navidad nos llena de una esperanza que va más allá de los regalos, las fiestas, las galletas y las compras. Llegamos a un lugar de esperanza por lo que Dios desea para nosotros: nuestra felicidad aquí en la Ɵerra y por toda la eternidad en el cielo. Es por eso que la Segunda Persona de la Sanơsima Trinidad, el Dios Verdadero, fue engendrado en el vientre de la Sanơsima Virgen María, nació en la ciudad de Belén y recibió como nombre Jesús. Dios vino a este mundo para demostrarnos el amor que Ɵene por cada uno de nosotros y por cada persona en este planeta. Esta Navidad, deseemos a Dios sobre todas las cosas. Que esta Navidad los llene de bendiciones y les traiga un conocimiento más profundo del amor que Dios Ɵene por nosotros. En Su amor y Su misericordia, 33 Días Hacia un Glorioso Amanecer es un libro escrito por el padre Michael Gaitley con un proceso de 5 semanas para aprender la " forma más fácil, más segura y más rápida" hacia la santidad a través de la consagración a Jesús por María, según dice San Luis María de Montfort .

But if your child needs to use the restroom during Mass, he/she MUST be accompanied by a parent. No one else can be responsible for your child’s safety – especially in the unsupervised restrooms. Children must also be supervised in the Courtyard. Do not allow your child to leave the church building alone. Even a drink of water can usually wait until after Mass.
