4TH SUNDAY OF ADVENT • DECEMBER 21, 2014
As members of St. Dominic Catholic Parish, we commit ourselves
“To Seek Christ, Know Christ, and Become Christ,
Each One for the Sake of All.”
18255 WEST CAPITOL DRIVE • BROOKFIELD, WI 53045
Message from Our Pastor
I hope that our observance of
Advent in our weekend liturgies has
been helping you experience the gift of
inner peace as we face the hectic pace
of these days of preparation for the
celebration of the Christmas season.
May our spiritual preparation for this
sacred time of the year help bring all of
us renewed hope, a spirit of joyfulness
and a desire to appreciate one another
more fully as we discover the Risen
Jesus present in one another, as we
recall and celebrate the anniversary of
his birth!
We would like to call your attention
to the difficulty we have making room
for the numbers that wish to
participate in the 4:30 pm Christmas
Eve Mass. So, it would be very helpful
if you and your loved ones could gather
together at one of the other beautiful
Masses we have scheduled for our
celebration of Christmas 2014. Thanks
for your prayerful consideration of this
request!
We have some exciting news about
the 2015 parish wall calendars. The
parish Marketing Committee has once
again undertaken the task of creating
our own parish calendar with pictures
taken from Liturgical Art used in our
worship here at St. Dominic. Through
the ongoing, generous sponsorship of
Harder Funeral Home, we are able to
offer one copy of the parish calendar to
our parish families starting this
weekend. We hope this calendar will
help you and your family mark the days
and months of the New Year-2015.

Don’t Miss The St. Dominic
Christmas Ornament!
If you missed the reverse collection
a couple of weeks
ago, ornaments are
still available in the
narthexes. Please
take 1 per family.
The ornament for
2014 is a dove that
symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit came down from heaven as a
mighty rushing wind, setting on fire
the faith of the apostles. Then,
together, with the power of the Holy
Spirit, they went out and proclaimed
the Good News of Jesus Christ – that
the Word was made flesh on
Christmas morning, for our salvation.
Please accept the ornament in
gratitude for your involvement in the
life and mission of our parish
community. May God continue to
bless you and your families this
Christmas Season.
Our Campus is Rockin’ Once Again!
The Buildings and Grounds Committee have installed
boulders at entrances of various drives on campus, in
order to preserve the asphalt work that was completed
this past Fall, to keep the grass and landscaping in good
shape and to prevent traffic from driving on storm drains.
So, while you’re attending Mass, dropping your children off at school, or
attending our many wonderful worship opportunities, please watch your
corners as you’re driving around campus.
December 24 & 25—closed
December 31—open until 12:00 pm
January 1—closed
If you drop something in the mail slot, it will be taken care of
the next day we are open.
Enjoy this blessed time with your family!
Due to limited quantities, please
take one per family. They are
available today in both narthexes.
Thank you to the St. Dominic
Marketing Committee and, especially,
parishioner Dan Herda for offering
his photography talent and skills for
this calendar.
In Gratitude...Smiles For Miles
Thank you so much to those who participated in the Smiles
for Miles project with St. Michael Parish. We were able to
deliver 220 shoeboxes, 55 coats, 61 pairs of boots, 5 backpacks
filled with school supplies and mountains of hats, mittens and
warm winter gear. The people of St. Michael were so appreciative. I will be
sending out pictures as soon as they come to me. Thank you again for your
wonderful generosity! ~Stacey Seim, Smiles For Miles Coordinator

It’s The 4th Sunday Of Advent!
He’s almost here. It is the 4th Sunday of Advent. Thank
God it’s a short week. It’s only 4 days. This year the Fourth
Week of Advent is four days long. Wednesday evening is
Christmas Eve and Thursday, is the birth of Christ. Isn’t
the anticipation exciting? It’s so thrilling! O come, O come, Emmanuel!
And because we are so blessed to have this wonderful day to be excited about,
we are called to praise God! Let him come into your heart to be your Savior.
Enter this sacred night and morning of Christmas “joyful and triumphant” as
never before. Hark! Sing with the angels. Go ahead, sing and praise out loud for
all to hear: "Glory to the newborn King!" In fact, go tell it on the mountain, over
the hills and everywhere; go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.
Look at the next page with your family and share how you would describe
your anticipation and how you’ll show your anticipation through prayer.

Help The Babies Of The
Hebron House!
At the beginning of each year, St.
Dominic Catholic
Parish does a drive
to assist Hebron
House of Hospitality
in Waukesha, which
houses homeless families. We are
amazed, each year by the generosity
of our parish families.
Did you know that 1/3 to 1/2 of the
residents of Hebron House are
infants? They are in desperate need
of diapers of larger sizes (including
Pull-ups) and baby wipes.
Throughout the month of January,
we will be collecting these items for
the homeless families trying to get
back on their feet. Please consider
purchasing a few when you see sales
or have coupons, or adding
something extra to your shopping
cart. Laundry baskets for collection
will be placed by the church doors
until the end of January. Thank you!
Stewardship Commitment RENEWAL
The 2015 St. Dominic Stewardship Renewal offers you an opportunity to be
ignited in faith and to answer your call to holiness. Prayerfully consider what
God asks of you in relation to the financial resources given to you as His steward,
and renew your commitment to God using your skills, interests and talents.
Please review, fill out your commitment form and drop it in the regular
collection baskets at Mass, return it to the Parish Center, or if you prefer, your
commitment can be made online at stdominic.net.
Gifts to God through St. Dominic Catholic Parish directly support our mission
and ministries. Your increased offering will support the:
 formation of intentional disciples by expanding adult lifelong faith formation
and evangelization efforts;
education and formation of our children and youth by providing additional
resources for our day school and child and youth ministries;
ongoing maintenance of our facilities, campus, and technology capabilities.
This year, we are asking all households to discuss, as a family, what
percentage of income to give back to God through St. Dominic Catholic Parish:
 Give your first hour or first 2 hours of income per week (2.5% or 5% of your
annual income) back to God, to renew your commitment to Christ;
If you already give more than 2.5% - 5% of your income, consider an increase.
Trust in God to care for all your needs;
 Give God what He asks of us and offer a 10% tithe;
If you haven’t given in the past, make a commitment to God through St. Dominic
Catholic Parish. Thank you and God bless.
It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we are called to ignite our
faith and to burn with the fire that can’t be contained.
Thank you for answering God’s call.

St. Dominic Catholic Parish—Advent In The Home
Brought to you by the LFF Department of the School and Children’s Ministry
~Courtesy of Catechist Magazine and “Advent in the Home” by Ellen C. Becker and Mary T. Barnes.
4th Week of Advent During this fourth week of Advent, the HOPE of salvation is near!
The “E” represents “excitement” that Jesus is almost here. Are you ready?
Read the Gospel of Luke 1: 26-38.
Reflect: In today’s Gospel, the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary to tell her that she has “found favor
with God,” that she will “bear a son,” and that she will “name him Jesus.” The child will be “called holy, the Son of God.”
This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent; it’s the last Sunday of Advent. That means that Christmas is almost here. You can
probably feel the excitement building. You’re probably beginning to look forward to the joyful and fun times that you and
your family will have on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and the days that follow. Looking forward to good things to
come is a sweet feeling! It’s called anticipation and enjoying anticipation is one of the wonderful things that God created
within our human nature. We can take great pleasure in looking forward to things. You know what you can do with that
sweet feeling of anticipation for all the celebrating that is to come in the weeks ahead? You can lift it up
to Jesus as prayer. Really! No kidding! Your excitement is a form of prayer. Lift up your sweet
anticipation to Jesus in the form of a prayer of gratitude to Jesus for his own sweet goodness.
Share: Talk about what your anticipation for the days ahead fells like. Would you use the word
sweet? What other words would you use to describe your anticipation?
Act: Share with a family member how your anticipation for the weeks ahead is a form of prayer.
Meal prayer for the fourth week of Advent: Heavenly Father, your Son Jesus’ birthday is only a few
days away. May his birthday bring joy and happiness to all humankind. May his peace reign throughout the world. May
we be the instruments of his peace for those we meet throughout the remainder of this new liturgical year. Amen.

“Children, let us love not in word and speech
but in deed and truth” ~1 John 4:18
Many service projects have been taking place in the school
these weeks of Advent. Our fourth graders went to spend
time with the residents of CAREage in Brookfield. The Girl Scouts went to help
distribute supplies to the parishioners at St. Michael Parish in Milwaukee. Our
seventh graders assisted in wrapping the gift boxes for Smiles for Miles. Our
kindergarten students have been collecting supplies for a layette to present to
Christ Child Society of Greater Milwaukee. With a kind heart and generous spirit
the children are truly embracing the gospel message to go out and serve.

Blessing of a Christmas Tree
The use of the Christmas tree is relatively modern. Its origins are found in the medieval mystery plays that depicted the tree of
paradise and the Christmas light or candle that symbolized Christ, the Light of the world.
According to custom, the Christmas tree is set up just before Christmas and may remain in place until the Solemnity of Epiphany.
The lights of the tree are illuminated after the prayer of blessing. In the home the Christmas tree may be blessed by a parent or
another family member, in connection with the evening meal on the Vigil of Christmas or at another suitable time on Christmas Day.
When all have gathered, a suitable song may be sung. The leader makes the sign of the cross, and all reply “Amen.”
The leader may greet those present in the following words:
Let us glorify Christ our light, who brings salvation and peace into our midst, now and forever.
R/. Amen.
In the following or similar words, the leader prepares those present for the blessing:
My brothers and sisters, amidst signs and wonders, Christ Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea: his birth brings joy to our hearts
and enlightenment to our minds. With this tree, decorated and adorned, may we welcome Christ among us; may its lights guide us to
the perfect light.
One of those present or the leader reads a text of sacred Scripture, for example:
Listen to the words of the Letter of St. Paul to Titus: 3:4-7
But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared,
not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy,
he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us
through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.
Reader: The Word of the Lord.
R/. Thanks be to God.
The intercessions are then said. The leader says:
Let us ask God to send his blessing upon us and upon this sign of our faith in the Lord.
R/. Lord, give light to our hearts.
That this tree of lights may remind us of the tree of glory on which Christ accomplished our salvation, let us pray to the Lord. R/.
That the joy of Christmas may always be in our homes, let us pray to the Lord. R/.
That the peace of Christ may dwell in our hearts and in the world, let us pray to the Lord. R/.
After the intercessions the leader invites all present to say the Lord’s Prayer.
The leader says the prayer with hands joined:
Lord our God,
we praise you for the light of creation:
the sun, the moon, and the stars of the night.
We praise you for the light of Israel:
the Law, the prophets, and the wisdom of the Scriptures. We praise you for Jesus Christ, your
Son: he is Emmanuel, God-with-us, the Prince of Peace, who fills us with the wonder of your love.
Lord God,
let your blessing come upon us
as we illumine this tree.
May the light and cheer it gives
be a sign of the joy that fills our hearts. May all who delight in this tree
come to the knowledge and joy of salvation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen.
The lights of the tree are then illuminated.
The leader concludes the rite by signing himself or herself with the sign of the cross and saying:
May the God of glory fill our hearts with peace and joy, now and forever.
R/. Amen.
The blessing concludes with a verse from “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”:
O come, thou dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night and death’s dark shadow put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

with Father Dom!
Father Domenic J. Roscioli brings an enlightening approach to being a
Catholic priest through story telling of his unique experiences in life
and relating them to the challenges faced by people in their everyday
lives.
Along my life journey, I’ve discovered why flamingos are pink, what
guns and ice cream have in common, and what God whispers to each of
us in our mother’s womb. I’d like to share my stories and relate them to
your story, in God’s grand design.

Do You Suffer From Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is a digestive condition triggered by consumption
of the protein gluten, which is found in bread, pasta, cookies, pizza
crust and many other foods containing wheat, barley or rye. Gluten
is also present in our communion hosts.
As Celiac disease becomes more prevalent, the Catholic Church
has taken steps to address the needs of those who cannot consume the
consecrated hosts. We have a process in place to address those needs. If Celiac
disease or another condition make it impossible to receive the customary host,
please contact the Parish Center.
Are you a fan of our annual
