JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY: Our Holy Father, Pope Francis I, has announced a JUBILEE YEAR OF

MERCY to begin this Tuesday, December 8, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin

Mary. This celebration of MERCY as the primary gift of Christ speaks to who we are called to be as His dis-

ciples. God’s grace comes to us as an unmerited gift. To be Merciful is to freely offer forgiveness to someone

worthy of punishment, or to release someone from a debt he or she owes. It speaks of compassion, the ability

to enter into someone else’s plight and sharing his or her burdens. This is what Jesus Christ accomplished for

us on the Cross of Calvary.

We will begin celebrating this JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY in our parish by expanding the opportunity to

celebrate the Sacrament of Mercy. Beginning next Saturday, December 12, and throughout the Season of Ad-

vent, Fr. Eschbach will be available for Confession every Saturday evening at 4:00pm, as well as on Tuesday

evenings from 6:30-7:30pm .

Further, during the Prayer of Intercession to overcome addictions, Fr. Eschbach will offer Benediction of the

Blessed Sacrament on Monday evenings beginning at 7:00pm, throughout the Season of Advent, beginning

Monday, December 14.

On Thursday evenings, at 7:00pm, also throughout Advent, Fr. Eschbach will lead the Charismatic Prayer

Group, calling down God’s merciful, compassionate love by offering prayer and anointing for those who are

sick by offering the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, beginning this Thursday, December 10.

PCCO

Parkesburg Churches Community Outreach (PCCO)

came together on Thanksgiving morning to provide

145 meals consisting of turkey, stuffing, potatoes,

corn, green beans, applesauce, cranberry sauce,

rolls, pie and a handmade card from our very own

PREP Children. The dinners were then delivered to

our local neighbors.

We had many volunteers who assisted in some way

to make this happen. Through this collaboration of

our churches, we were able to provide our commu-

nity with a blessed Thanksgiving feast.

All of the thoughtfulness, hard work, and special

touches are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and effort in this annual

fellowship.

Safe Environment Class

For anyone who needs to attend the Safe Environ-

ment Class, OLC will be hosting a session on Mon-

day, December 14, beginning at 1:00pm at the

SPC. You must register at www.virtus.org - space

is limited and will fill up fast!

PCCO-Parkesburg Churches

Community Outreach

The holidays are coming and more non-perishable

foods are needed to restock the Food Cupboard.

Please place donated items in the PCCO box at each

worship site.

We are truly grateful and appreciate all of the dona-

tions of food items we receive throughout the year.

Thank you!

CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE

As we have for the past several years, our parish

will participate in a Christmas Giving Program for

needy children.

The tags are on the trees at the back of each wor-

ship site through the weekend of December 5 & 6.

Please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. $50 limit per child, no gift cards.

2. If more than one gift is purchased for the

child, please package as one.

3. Mark each gift with the child’s first name,

child I.D. and family I.D.

4. Please return your gift to one of our wor-

ship sites by the deadline which is noted on

the tag.

It’s very important that donors return their gifts by

the December deadline to allow sufficient time for

the coordinators to prepare for the gift distribution.

Thank you so much for participating in this minis-

try.

For many children, this will be their only Christ-

mas gift.

If you have any questions, please contact Sandy

Hodorovich at shodorovich5@comcast.net or call

484-716-3192. You may also call Mary Beth at the

rectory-610-857-3510.

“Life is a constant Advent season: we are continually

waiting to become, to discover, to complete, to fulfill.

Hope, struggle, fear, expectation and fulfillment are

all part of our Advent experience.”

“The world is not as just, not as loving, not as whole

as we know it can and should be. But the coming of

Christ and his presence among us-as one of us-give

us reason to live in hope: that light will shatter the

darkness, that we can be liberated from our fears and

prejudices, that we are never alone or abandoned.”

“May this Advent season be a time for bringing hope,

transformation and fulfillment into the Advent of our

lives.”

When: Sunday, December 20

Meet at: Our Lady of Consolation-Church hall

Time: 6:00pm

All are invited as we gather to share the joy of

Christmas carols in the community. Afterwards,

we will meet back at the church hall for fellowship,

cookies and hot chocolate.

We ask that you bring cookies to share and we will

provide the hot chocolate.

The priests of tomorrow are in our midst.

They are members of this parish.

They are members of our own families.

Encourage Vocations, pray for the gift.
