Baptism of adults and youth follows the Church’s
traditional “Catechumenate,” a gradual
acquaintance with Catholic life leading to
Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy
Communion at the Easter Vigil. Baptism of
infants and pre-school children is celebrated on
the third Sunday of each month at 10:30 AM
(except during Lent), and at the Easter Vigil.
Parents (or expecting parents) must be registered
parishioners, call at least six weeks in advance,
and participate in a brief parent preparation held
regularly. Please call parish office for more
information.

ADVENT CONFESSION TIMES
This year our Deanery is planning to have
several opportunities for parishioners to go to
confession at each of the assigned times and places.

confessions.

Confession Times.

Third Sunday of Advent
Gaudete Sunday derives its name from the
opening prayer of the Mass for this day, where
we pray,
"Gaudete in Domino semper" (Rejoice in the
Lord always). So in the midst of Advent fast-
ing and devotions, we rejoice because the time
we have been preparing for is almost at hand.
You may see rose-colored vestments and
additions to the church environment due to
this special Sunday.
A day like this is always good to remind us
not to take ourselves too seriously. The life of
a Christian is not always easy, but it is one of
joy. If we keep our heads bowed too long, no
one will be able to see the smiles on our faces.
May the joy of the Lord be yours on this
Gaudete Sunday! The Lord is coming, soon
and very soon!
