ADVENT PRAYER TREE:
This Advent our youth students will again be selling ornaments before and after Mass for $5 each for you to add your prayer intention to. We will then be putting them on the Advent Prayer Tree all throughout Advent and into the Christmas Season. Proceeds go to the Youth Programs.
Wall of Money $$$
Youth Students have the Wall Of Money, located in the church entrance, to help collect donations for VBS, Steubenville, JPII, and Trinity Youth Camp. You can take an envelope corresponding to an amount or you can select a blank envelope and add the amount you choose. As a thank you for your donation we would like to pray for any prayer intention that you might have while we are at these events. Once you have completed your envelope you can turn it into the office, Amanda Page, or put it in the collection basket at Mass.
We extend our sincere sympathy to the John Praska family.
John passed away on Monday, December 9, 2024, and his Mass of Christian Burial was held on Friday, December 13, 2024 at SS. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Warren, MN.
May God Grant Him Eternal Rest.

December 22, 2024; 4th Sunday of Advent
“For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.”
(LUKE 1:44)
When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading at Mass, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. What are you doing to grow in friendship with Jesus? How do you prepare for Mass each week? Do you just show up and expect to be entertained? As the Body of Christ, we are called to be active participants, not just passive observers.
The Altar Society has an assortment of greeting cards: birthday, get well, sympathy, anniversary, graduation, confirmation, first communion and baptism cards for sale on a stand in the library for $.50 each. Pick out which cards you may want, pay in the office or put the appropriate amount of money in an envelope marked “CARDS” and put it under the office door.

Pour forth your blessings upon us as we light these candles each week, may their light reflect the splendor of Christ, who is Lord, for ever and ever.
