3rd Sunday of Advent
Greetings!
Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/december-11th-2022/
Here are the highlights:
- Office hours have returned to normal. Karen is back!
- Father David is celebrating MASS ON TUESDAYS AT NOON DURING THE ADVENT SEASON. Mass intentions are available for these Masses. There will not be a parish penance service this season but Father will hear confessions ½ hour before and after the noon Mass on these Tuesdays. The Knights are collecting unwrapped, unisex gifts for kids, ages 0 – 12 years of age. Please leave your gifts under the Knights table in the Commons. (p. 8)
- Please return Angel Tree gifts WRAPPED, with tag attached by December 12th. Thank you to all who were able to grant the wishes of those in need.
- New USHERS are needed at both Masses. This is an excellent way to serve. Contact Frank Pilk if you are interested (571.239.3373).
- In an ongoing effort, sneakers are being collected to benefit CHIU (Catholic Health Initiatives for Uganda). It doesn’t matter the condition. (p. 5)
- Don’t forget: Lessons & Carols this Sunday, Dec. 11 at 2pm in the Parish Hall.
- Much like Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner will also be available to those who otherwise have no plans. Christmas dinner will be available on Christmas day in the Parish Hall at SPP beginning at 1pm.
- 100 Club memberships are available for 2023. (p. 6)
- If you are in either building after normal business hours, please, please, please, be sure to:
- NOT prop doors open (we cannot afford to heat/cool the outside).
- turn lights/ceiling fans off (even if you didn’t turn them on)
- turn off/unplug the portable heater/fan (chapel users only)
- turn around and make sure the outermost doors have completely closed behind you. (Yank on the door to make sure it doesn’t open.) **This continues to be a problem.
- Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
- The next MASS IN SPANISH is this Saturday, December 10th at 7pm, as we celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, preceded by the Rosary at 6pm..
- On Sunday, December 18, we will have our annual parish Christmas brunch immediately after Mass. Please bring a dish to share as we enjoy celebrating the season with one another. (p. 10)
- The St. Joseph’s WYD group is holding a clothing drive. Gently used clothing items can be dropped off in the parish hall repository.
Peace-
Karen Davidson
