Stations of the Crib
On Sunday, December 14th, St. Christopher School
and Religious Education students participated in the
Stations of the Crib, lead by the eighth graders. They
told the story of The Nativity in prayer and song.
Everyone sang Christmas Carols that followed the
story. It was a wonderful reminder of the true
meaning of Christmas.
Grieving the loss
of a loved one?
On the first
Saturday of every
month at the
8:30 am Mass, the
liturgy will be offered for those who
have suffered a loss.
We will remember our loved ones in a
special way, and an optional
fellowship will be held after the Mass,
sponsored by the Bereavement
Ministry of St. Christopher.
“Notes” from Phil & Amy
The Holy Family
Today’s (options) First Reading:
Sir 3: “He who honors his father atones
for sins, he stores up riches who reveres
his mother.” And our Responsorial
Psalm: Ps 105 The Lord remembers his
covenant forever. Our Second Reading: Col 3: “Bear with one
another and forgive each other as soon as a quarrel begins.”
Our Gospel Acclamation: Col 3: “May the peace of Christ rule
in your hearts; and the fullness of his message live within you.”
And our Gospel: Lk 2: “The child grew up to maturity and he
was filled with wisdom.”
On the third week of Advent I mentioned that our
Psalm was a “Canticle” for that Sunday’s scripture, the Canticle
of Mary. Well, today’s Gospel incorporates Simeon’s canticle,
the Nunc Dimittis. Canticles are “hymns” from the Bible not
found in the book of Psalms. There are both Hebrew Testament
and Christian canticles in the Bible. Christian canticles include
the Magnificat (Canticle of Mary), the Benedictus (Canticle of
Zechariah) and the Nunc Dimittis (Canticle of Simeon).
On the first week of Advent, we had a psalm that Amy
and I composed the music for about 10 years ago. It was
because we were trying to create a particular mood for Advent
that we didn’t feel was offered in other Psalm 80’s musical
content that we reviewed. Today, we have an option to hear
Psalm 105 which only appears in the lectionary once in a three
year cycle (we’re in cycle B) and it’s found in very few
hymnals. The antiphon says it all: “The Lord remembers his
covenant forever.”
Now I think it’s important to note on this Feast of the
Holy Family that we have to keep a broad sense of what
constitutes a family. Many families consist of a single parent
possibly with one child, or a homeless person, or even two
friends. All those who are baptized in Christ are part of the
Christian family.
Again the antiphon says it all: “The Lord remembers
his covenant forever.” Marriage is like the covenant. It is a
model from parents to children saying, just like in baptism,
“We will always be here for you.” Many hymns incorporate
the text from Psalm 105. “For the beauty of the Earth” and “All
Creatures of Our God and King” come to mind.
Today let all families take inspiration and courage
from Jesus, Mary and Joseph – The “Holy” Family. The
Gospel story that Luke alone records is the only one regarding
Jesus in his “youth” years. It reminds us that he grew into his
identity as one who would speak and act with authority, having
matured in wisdom, age and favor before God and all people.
His family was the very place where this happened. So here is
a prayer for today:
“Most Holy Trinity, look with compassion on all
families where love and understanding have long been absent.
In your merciful kindness, bring peace, comfort, and joy to all
members this day.” Amen.
This Tuesday, please join our St. Christopher Music
Ministry in church at 7pm as we present “Heralds of Joy” and
celebrate the 6th Day of Christmas. Be part of a great Christmas
season tradition. Join St. Christopher Parish in celebrating the
Octave of Christmas, January 1st, when we celebrate the
Motherhood of Mary, and also, a World Day of Peace &
Justice. May God Bless Us in His Mercy (Psalm 67)

Sr. Bertha Marie Kloser
May She Rest in Peace!
Our beloved Sister Bertha
Marie Kloser passed away
on December 17, 2014, at
the Clare House in
Dubuque, Iowa. Sr. Bertha
Marie was a teacher at
St. Christopher School
from 1955-1974. She loved

now with family and friends.

IMMEDIATE
PRAYER
CONNECTION
WE NEED YOU TO
COME PLAY BINGO!!!
For just $12.00 you can come
play 10 games of Bingo with a
10 Game Book (12 cards per
page) and enjoy an evening of fun with other Bingo
players and possibly win some cash to take home.
Come and join us. We also have Bingo Computers.
For one 10 Game Book and one Computer with 48

Doors open @ 5:00 PM. Early Bird game @ 6:30
PM. Regular games start at 7:00 PM.
We will see everyone on Monday, December 29th,
and bring a friend or two. There are pull tabs
and progressive raffle games as well.
The Immediate Prayer
Connection was established
at St. Christopher Parish in
1991 and since that time the
daily request for prayers have
been passed along to the many “pray-ers” who know
the importance of asking God to be with His children
in the many difficult times and joyous times in their
lives.
At any time that you need prayers for yourself, family
or friends just pick up the phone and call the Parish
Office at (708) 388-8190 and make your request.
If you think that you would like to become one of the
“pray-ers”, call the Parish Office and ask for Barb and
we will add your name to our list. Pray-ers are
contacted on a two week basis or you can give your
email address and you will be contacted.
Prayer is comforting!
Prayer is powerful! For
where two or three are
gathered together in my
name there I am in the
midst of them.
Thank you for the generous gifts you provided to
those people in need and the homebound this
Christmas season. It was greatly appreciated by all.
God bless you.
“Give and it will be given to you. Good measure,
pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be
put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it
will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38.
PRO-LIFE
HOLY HOUR
You are invited to a Pro-Life Holy Hour
on Friday, January 2nd at 7:00pm in
St. George Church (6707 W. 175th Street in Tinley
Park). We will pray before the Blessed
Sacrament for true respect for all human
life from conception to natural death.
Please come to pray that our nation will
be converted to a culture of life.
Calling All St. Chris School
Alumni!!!
Kindergarten Learns about Thanksgiving
During November, the kindergarteners have been very
busy learning about "The First Thanksgiving!" They
learned how Squanto helped the Pilgrims, and when it
was time for the harvest, the Pilgrims and native
Americans celebrated with a big feast.
The 90th Anniversary of St. Christopher
School will be an exciting event!
Would you like to join in the
celebration by coordinating a reunion
of your class at our gala? You would have an
enjoyable evening with your classmates and many of
the basics of putting together a reunion would have
already be done for you. If you have an interest in
coordinating a reunion for your class, please contact
Christine Herrera Cantlin at (708) 388-8514 or
Paul Brouch at (708)743-5278 by January 10th, 2015
and we will guide you through the process. The
St. Christopher School 90th Anniversary Gala will be
held from 6:30 p.m. to Midnight on Friday,
February 6th, 2015, at the Odyssey Country Club,
19110 S. Ridgeland Avenue in Tinley Park, Illinois
60477. Tickets are $70 per person or reserve a table
of 10 for $650. For more information, please visit
