From Fr. Mark Mertes, Pastor:

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.

Indeed the Lord is near. (Philippians 4.4-5) Entrance antiphon for Sunday of

Third Week of Advent Indeed the Lord is near! Let us discover Jesus’ saving presence as we: Enjoy the 3 burning candles of your home

Advent wreath; at each meal share a high point and a low point of the day.

Join the School of Faith’s daily rosary at www.dailyrosary.net.

Come share daily Advent Eucharist. Use shopping and gift wrapping times as Ad-

vent moments. Ask your family (or yourself): “How has Jesus come to me as gift today?”

Keep enjoying Advent music. ….. I suggest Advent music from the “Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles,” Gower, MO.

Make plans to attend our Parish Advent Rec-onciliation Service on Monday night, Decem-ber 23 at 7:00 pm in the church. We will have several priests in attendance.

Estén siempre alegres en el Señor, les repito, estén alegres.

El Señor está cerca. (Filipenses 4.4-5) Antífona de entrada para

el tercer Domingo del Adviento Es cierto, ¡El Señor está cerca! Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento para todos nuestros volunta-rios que nos ayudaron para celebrar las fiestas de la Virgen de Guadalupe. ¡Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe! Tenemos una semana más de preparación para la Navidad. Algunas ideas para disfrutar este tiempo de Adviento: Ven a la misa diaria. Recen el rosario diariamente como familia. Antes de comer, cada persona en tu mesa

puede compartir un momentito bueno, y un momentito difícil de su día.

Pon en tu calendario Las Confesiones. Habrá un servicio con algunos sacerdotes el lunes, el 23 de diciembre a las 7:00 aquí en San Patricio. ¡Que buen tiempo para reconciliarse!

Prior to Thanksgiving, students at St. Patrick School conducted a food drive. Specific items were requested to complement menus served at St. Mary’s Food Kitchen by the Social Concerns Ministry. With the help of Principal Tim Conrad, a goal of 400 items was set. Our generous school families exceeded

the goal, collecting well over 700 items! Thank you to the students for these items, and to eighth grade students who continue to come in small groups to help serve those in need.
