Register for Dream Event

DYNAMIC PARISH INITIATIVE

Dream Event

What are your dreams for your life? For your family? For our parishes? One of the most powerful and life-

changing gifts that God has given to each of us in the power to dream. We are able to look into the future and

imagine something better than today, and then return to the present and work to make that richly imagined

future a reality. We’d like to unleash that power of dreaming for the Reading Catholic Community. On

Tuesday, December 10th at 7:00 p.m., through our participation in Dynamic Parish, we will host our first-ever

Dream Event. This is a 90-minute interactive event that inspires us to embrace the gift of life and share our

dreams for our Catholic community. We personally invite each of you to come. Registration is free and we

expect a crowd, so please register now at www.Reading.Eventbrite.com, or scan here:

Help with the Dream Event

Help with

survey

Bigger Future Survey: Can You Help? We need to enter the paper

versions of the Bigger Future Surveys into the online database. If you have time,

we will be working in pairs to read and type the responses from the paper surveys

into the online database. Go to www.ReadingCatholic.org, or scan code to the

right to sign up.

Paper registration forms are also available at the church exits. We hope that

you will participate in the Dream Event. Beyond that, we hope the event then

inspires each of us to experience the joy of helping others realize some of

their personal dreams.

Help with the Dream Event

Would you like to help bring a great experience to the Reading Catholic Community? Sign up to help out at

the Dream Event, Tuesday, December 10th. Go to the Reading Catholic website, or scan here to get to the

Sign-Up Genius. Thanks!

Bigger Future Survey closes December 3rd. If you would like to take the

Bigger Future Survey, you have until Tuesday, December 3rd to complete the

online survey at www.BFS19.com, or to return your

paper survey to the Church or business office.

Paper surveys are available at the back of both churches.

Best Advent Ever

Many parishioners are familiar with Dynamic Catholic through their program, Best Advent Ever, a free email

program designed to help you slow down and focus on what matters most in the midst of the holiday bustle.

Throughout Advent, you’ll receive an email with videos that will encourage and inspire you to grow in your

faith. You’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime experience of Christmas, because you’ll have had a once-in-a-lifetime

experience of Advent. Sign up at www.BestAdventEver.com

St. Agnes Blessed Sacrament Chapel

On Friday, December 6th from 6:30pm until 7:30pm

Blessed Sacrament Chapel, adore our Lord. Come

and experience a deeper personal encounter with

God.

Advent: the season of preparing for Jesus’ coming

into the world and into our lives.

The Nativity Prelude: Sunday,

December 15

Sunday, December 15

The 3rd Sunday of Advent - also known as Gaudete

Sunday - is a time of joyful expectation and eager

preparation in anticipation of the coming of the

Lord: indeed a reason to rejoice! The Nativity

Prelude serves as an introduction to this great

event. Let us rejoice in the nearness of Jesus’s

coming!

Please join us for the Nativity Prelude on Sunday,

December 15, at St. Athanasius Church, beginning

with the celebration of the 10:00AM Mass.

Hospitality in the St. Athanasius Parish Activity

Center will follow the Prelude.

Taizé During Advent

Take time out from the hustle and bustle of Christmas

shopping to join with the Music ministers of our

community for three evenings of Taizé. The evening

consists of quiet, meditative scripture and song.

TAIZE DATES:

Wednesday, 7PM on December 4 at St. Agnes

Wednesday, 7PM on December 11 at St. Athanasius

Wednesday, 7PM on December 18 at St. Agnes

Christmas Gift Package for Loved One(s) in a War Zone

Sponsored by the St. Vincent de Paul Society

Again this year, the St Vincent de Paul Society is preparing Christmas gift packages to send to military

personnel in our parishes. Please let us remember those who selflessly serve others! We invite parishioners

to send in the address of loved one(s) who are presently in a War Zone, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society

will send them a Christmas gift package. An accurate and complete address is needed to ensure it reaches

your loved one. Questions? Call 781-258-8767, leave a message and a member will be in touch.

Time is short. We need addresses by December 8, 2019. Please email to:

[email protected]

Reflecting on Today’s Readings

The message is clear on this first Sunday of Advent:

“Walk in the light of the Lord”; “Stay awake…”; “You

must be prepared…”; “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Church gives us this holy season as a time for us

to re-order our lives and our priorities. While our

culture will try to distract us from the importance of

Christ’s birth, take a few minutes each day in prayer

to extend a personal invitation to Jesus to come into

your life. Your prayer will produce gratitude and your

gratitude will foster hope in the Lord.


Food for Family Thought

As birthdays and other gift-giving occasions arise,

think to include at least one gift that speaks of faith

to your child. It could be a book, a medal, or even as

simple as a bible verse bookmark. It will show that

you value your child’s spiritual nature.


Children’s Christmas Gift Program to Benefit Catholic Charities

December 1 through December 15, 2019

The Children’s Christmas Gift Program begins this weekend. This program benefits families and children

serviced by Catholic Charities North. Please consider donating a child’s gift or store gift card to benefit these

families and children. Choose a child’s age/gender from the Christmas Gift Program table at St. Agnes, for

whom you (and perhaps your child of similar age) can shop for a Christmas present. Return the UNWRAPPED

gift to the gift table on the following weekend. You may also decide to donate a store gift card (Target,

Walgreens, etc.) so that parents can personally shop for their child/ren. A final option is to donate a grocery

store gift card which is very helpful for families in having a joyous Christmas dinner. Catholic Charities will be

picking up donations on Tuesday morning, December 17.

Your kindness and generosity in donating gifts help families and their children experience a special Christmas

morning. Thank you!

for their families. Unwrapped gifts should be left in

the church choir loft by December 15th. Gift cards

may be left in the box in the entryway near the
