Creation is sacred. It has sacramental meaning, It reflects God’s glory. That includes our bodies. Our sexuality has the power to procreate, and shares in the dignity of being created in the image of God. We need to live accordingly. PLEASE REMEMBER…those who are sick in your prayers, Chase Marlin, Beth Tomeo, Carmen Podziomek and Maryann Bunch. For those in need of Healing Prayer there are pray overs the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month after the noon Mass on the Blessed Virgin Mary side of the alter.

Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament in St. Mary’s Chapel Monday thru Friday 9AM-7 PM. PLEASE REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS, all our deceased benefactors . Virgin, most holy, Mother of the Word Incarnate, Treasurer of graces, and Refuge of sinners, I fly to your motherly affection with lively faith, and I beg of you the grace ever to do the will of God. Into your most holy hands I commit the keeping of my heart, asking you for health of soul and body, in the certain hope that you, my most loving Mother, will hear my prayer. Into the bosom of your tender mercy, this day, every day of my life, and at the hour of my death, I commend my soul and body. To you I entrust all my hopes and consolations, all my trials and miseries, my life and the end of my life, that all my actions may be ordered and disposed according to your will and that of your Divine Son. Amen Page 2 144 Ss. Phillip & James Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord, A further word of Christmas thanks to all who helped to make the holidays brighter for those in difficult situations. The one to one help that goes through our office each year is always impressive. People, wanting no recognition, who want to anonymously help others are givers not only of the goods of this world but also givers of God Who is love. More than the material gift is the realization that someone understands and wants to help. The following is a letter that particularly touched one of our office volunteers. From: St. Agnes Outreach Services Day Room. Dear Father Dieckhaus, Doug and Maria Weems and Parishioners. Gratitude to you for your friendship and generosity to people in need in our community! You have been a wonderful blessing for the families for whom you provided Christmas gifts. They ask that we send you their deepest thanks. It is a particular joy for us that we have this special relationship with you and that through our friendship in Christ people who might never know one another are able to come together to give and receive kindness. We thank you for the time and effort and the beauty of your gestures toward the poor. Such kindness is very powerful and can give hope to those struggling to survive in our affluent county. Thank you for choosing to do something beautiful for families that you did not know. Thank you for doing something that you did not have to do for the good of others! You are a sure sign of Christ’s Presence in our work today. This is a very beautiful relationship and we thank God for you! May he continue to bless all in your parish with His love and His grace.

Phillip & James SSPJ School News 7th Graders Present Christmas Tableau Merry Multiplication! The entire school body gathered in the church for a tableau and music service prior to Christmas break. While students narrated the story of Jesus’ birth, seventh grade students portrayed those scenes. After the service, students chose “courts of the King,” which is a tradition in which each person prays to choose which virtue they need the most. Below are Lauren and Ben portraying Mary and Joseph. To the right is Logan selecting a court from Annie. Third graders had a merry time with multiplication by creating word problems associated with a Christmas theme! In addition to writing out their problem, they drew pictures of each! Skylar’s problems were: I caught 8 snowflakes on my tongue 4 times. How many snowflakes did I catch? 8 x 4 = 32 Grandma went shopping for 2 days. Each day she bought 11 gifts. How many gifts did Grandma buy? 22 gifts. Joren’s problems were: Mommy bakes Christmas cookies. She needs to fill 12 boxes with a dozen cookies. How many cookies does she need to bake in all? 12 x 12 + 144 cookies Band Presents Christmas Concert The band members gave a wonderful performance at their Christmas concert! We are so proud of the five eighth graders who have been with the band since the beginning--five years ago. This year, 11 new students joined the band and played in duets, trios, and as a band. We are impressed with how much the newest members learned from just a few months ago! All the students in between did a great job as well! My 3 cousins sell Christmas wreaths for their church fundraising. Each of them sold 3 wreaths at $11 per wreath. How much money do they have in all? 3 cousins x 3 wreaths = 9 x $11 = $99 1st row (left to right): Jessica K. - clarinet, Jessica H., Hannah, and Elizabeth - flute 2nd row (left to right): Daniel, Sean, and Ryan - bells Page 7 144 Ss.
