Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation All U.S. bishops (known collectively as the United States

Conference of Catholic Bishops, or USCCB) released a

statement for Lent in 2013 encouraging Catholics to make going

to confession a significant part of their spiritual lives. The

message is equally valid for the upcoming Advent season, when

the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation will have

expanded times of availability. Check out the insert in this week's bulletin for the text of this

pastoral exhortation as well as a handy guide on the back of it

that will walk you through the process.

Father Dave’s Office Needs Help The carpet in Father Dave’s office desperately, very desperately,

needs to be replaced. There is a large tear in the rug that is

being held together by tape. We are asking for your

contributions to help replace that office carpeting. His office is

not a large area and it will not be that expensive to replace.

Collection containers are at each door. Please consider putting

in a contribution. We are planning to have the work done for

Christmas. Thank you for your help and your generosity, it is greatly

appreciated.

Books are always at our service as friends and

companions, as teachers and consolers, as

recreators and amusers. Books are always with us

and always ready to respond to our wants. We

can take them with us in our

wanderings, or gather them around our

firesides. ~ J. A. Langford

First Sunday of Advent

As we begin this season of Advent we need to

focus on the message of the voice crying out in the

wilderness. Unfortunately we have a lot of voices in our

world vying for our attention. On American Idol,

hundreds of people are all trying to get an audition in

front of three judges so they can be heard. We have

candidates for the upcoming election debating on our

television screens, and we have the late night talk

show hosts filling the airwaves with voices that are loud,

funny, irreverent and compelling. But in the midst of

this world of voices we also have another voice, a

voice not as loud but persistent with his message. The

voice of John the Baptist is encouraging us to

straighten out our lives and address the sinfulness that is

boring holes into our lives. The time is now for us to turn

our lives around and get ready for the arrival of the

Lord, our newborn King. John is calling for repentance;

A mending of our heart, our mind, and our soul. During

this season we are all invited to visit a confessor and

face the sins that have been hampering us in our

spiritual journey.

This is actually what Pope Francis is encouraging

all of us to do during this Year of Mercy which starts on

December 8th, The Feast of the Immaculate

Conception. As you are all aware confessing sins is not

easy to do but the resulting joy is beyond words. I

would encourage all of you to find the time to

experience true forgiveness that comes with the

sacrament. This is an opportunity to turn our lives

around and live in a way that is complimentary to the

words of the voice of John the Baptist in the wilderness.

Heed the voice that is not necessarily the strongest or

the most attractive. It is a courageous voice that calls

each of us to conversion, forgiveness, and peace.

~Father Dave
