CHRISTMAS BELLS
Can I go to confession on Christmas Eve? Yes, you can. Few
Chicago Churches are able to offer confessions on Christmas Eve,
even the famous St. Peter’s in the Loop that regularly offers such a
great opportunity for Confession all day long in the middle of the
City. On Wednesday, for two hours, - but only for two hours Cathedral confessors will be available. On the lower level of the
Cathedral, confessors will be in Reconciliation Rooms from 1:003:00pm. Note, however, that 3:00 is the cut-off. The priests must
leave at 3:00 to prepare for later liturgies. “I’ll get there at 2:55.”
I know that if you do so, your confession will not be heard. If you
want your sins sacramentally forgiven on Christmas Eve, arrive by
2:00pm. We are happy to offer this annual preparation for
Christmas.
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
the Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!

An Unusual Christmas Gift
Looking for something different as a Christmas gift?
Consider a donation for our Thursday-Friday Suppers
in the name of a family member who has everything
or a friend who is hard to shop for or a co-worker. A
letter of announcement is mailed to the honoree and a
letter of acknowledgment to the donor.
See page 10 for details.
Do you like to bake?
January
Bakers Needed
On Thursday evenings, our parish provides meals for the
local hungry at Catholic Charities. 130 guests are served a
warm meal provided by a local restaurant or purchased
through Jewel Food Store. To add a homemade touch to the
night, homemade desserts are also served. Would you be
willing to bake for our guests in December?
We need 130 large cookies, ( 4 inches) or 260 smaller
cookies or cupcakes or banana loaves or whatever is your
favorite to bake. If you or your family or your circle of
friends are in the baking spirit, please call
Fr. John Boivin at 312-787-8040 to a schedule a date.
Do you shop at Jewel?
Are you saving the green stamps for Cuisinart
cookware? If you are not, we are!!!
Last year the Jewel promotion featured stamps for
dishware. Your collective response to that appeal
was 16 sets (4 table settings of four). They were all
shared, some to parishioners and others to House of
Good Shepherd who help families with domestic
violence start a new household. As one parishioner
said, “I have never had a matching set of four for 4
people in my entire life!”
So if you have any extra not-to-be-used green
stamps throughout these next few months, please
consider dropping them off in the collection or at
the rectory to the attention of Fr. John Boivin.
The last day for these stamps to be given is
Christmas Day; the last day to be redeemed is
January 7th. Please drop them off before New
Year’s Day.

Angelus ad Virginem
Andrew Carter
TRANSLATION: When the angel came secretly to the Virgin in her room, soothing the maiden's fear, he said:
"Hail! Hail, Queen of virgins. While yet untouched by man you shall conceive and bear the Lord of heaven and
earth, salvation for mankind. You have become the gate of heaven, a remedy for sins."
"How can I conceive, since I have not known a man? How can I break the vow I made with firm intent?" "The
grace of the Holy Spirit shall bring all this to pass. Fear not, but rejoice, secure in the knowledge that pure
chastity shall remain yours through God's mighty power."
To this the noble Virgin replied, saying: "I am the lowly handmaiden of Almighty God. I bend my will to you, O
celestial messenger, who share so great a mystery, and I long to see performed what I now hear.
I am ready to yield myself to God's design."
Communion Antiphon - Behold a virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth Son; and his name shall be called
Emmanuel. The heaven declare the glory of God. The sky proclaims its builder’s craft.

“Can you spare some change
so I can get something to eat?”
We want to help but we are:
 Uneasy when approached by someone in need,
 Worried about pulling out a wallet or opening a
purse
 Concerned that our money might be used for
drugs or alcohol
Those who ask for money on the street have many
needs: a job, a place to live, counseling, - and a way
out of a bad situation. Professionals are the best
people to help with all these needs.
THANK YOU!
On Sunday, November 30th,
we helped save 81 lives!
How? Did you know that one pint of blood can save
up to three lives? Thanks to 27 generous donors, up to
81 lives may have been saved.
Thank you to everyone who was able to, or tried to
donate at the Blood Drive.
Look for the next Blood Drive this spring
sponsored by the
Human Concerns Commission.
What we can do is help make sure no one goes
hungry. We can at least buy this person a cup of
coffee or a sandwich.
Chicago Shares vouchers are a convenient, safe and
constructive means to provide meals and other
necessities for hungry people. Here’s how they work:
1. Purchase $5 books of $1 Chicago Shares
vouchers,
2. Give vouchers to needy people who ask for
money on the street,
3. Recipients redeem vouchers for food and other
basic necessities at participating merchants, and
4. Chicago Shares reimburses merchants for all
vouchers redeemed.
CAREER FULFILLMENT COMMUNITY
Join us on January 8
Holy Name Cathedral's Career Fulfillment Community will
hold its regular second Thursday of the month meeting on
January 8 beginning at 6:30pm in our Parish Center. Our
presenters always provide very useful advice for job
seekers and career changers, and our meetings are
enjoyable, interactive and informative. Refer to upcoming
bulletins for additional details regarding our January 8
meeting.
Chicago Shares vouchers will be on sale at Holy
Name Cathedral this Sunday, December 21, 2014 in
the Cathedral Vestibule, inside the State Street
entrance from 9AM until 12:15PM.
The Career Fulfillment Community is intended as a forum,
not only for those seeking employment, but as a sustaining,
faith-based network where anyone seeking to mentor,
coach or share their job/career/vocational knowledge can
help those seeking assistance.
Chicago Shares is not an answer to poverty or
homelessness - but it is a start.
Please join us, we always welcome new members. Bring a
friend or two. Questions? Just e-mail Barton DeLacy
at [email protected].
WANT HELP DEALING WITH
OUR STRESSFUL WORLD?
Have you ever considered counseling, but you couldn’t find the
time? Maybe the time is now. The Holbrook Counseling
Center, a service of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of
Chicago, provides confidential counseling at many locations
including our newest office by Holy Name Cathedral. All of our
counselors are licensed, and we have convenient appointment
times including evenings and Saturdays. We have affordable fees
