Rediscovering Catholicism:
ADVENT PREPARATION: FOUR
Christ In Your Holiday
GOD SQUAD:)
Altar Linen for December

28 Marlene Berres
N0 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
DECEMBER 24TH, 28TH, 31S1st
1) Put Christ & Christmas into your holidays!
No Sewing Group Dec 24 & 31
2) Make an inventory of your spiritual household.
3) Plant your own spiritual mustard seed and
watch it grow into a tree of extreme holiness.
4) Let Advent be your spiritual springboard to
launch you into the new year of your spiritual
life.
5) Change your habits. Christ has provided us
with a multitude of ways to a life of holiness:
Execute the Basic fundamentals of
Catholicism.
6) The North is the only star that never moves.
Let it be our spiritual compass. A good
example of fundamentals of Catholicism are
the ABC’s of Mercy.
A
Ask for Mercy: God wants
you to approach HIM in prayer
constantly; repenting our sins
and asking him to pour his mercy
upon us and the whole world.
B
Be merciful to others: God
wants us to receive his mercy and
let it flow through us and to others.
C
A Volunteer is needed to
help with the St. Rita Gift
Shoppe after the 5:00 PM
Sunday Mass. The
Shoppe would need to be
open for about 15
minutes.
Please call Chick or Cathy
It is a st. Rita Tradition on
This very holy night OF
CHRISTMAS EVE that the
children tell the gospel
story. All children 4-7
years of age are welcome
TO PARTICIPATE. Rehearsal
is 10:00-11:00 WEDNESDAY
DEC. 24 IN THE CHURCH.
THE CHILDREN’S VIGIL MASS
IS AT 5:00 PM.
CONTACT PAIGE CUISON
WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
Completely trust in Jesus:
God wants us to know that the
graces of his mercy are dependent
upon our trust; the more we trust
Jesus, the more we will receive.
7) Do you notice that football stadiums are
completely filled capacity every Sunday? Why not
our churches? Church doors are open; there are
no reserved seats; all seats are on the 50 yard
line! Spiritual virtue & spiritual graces
every Sunday! And the touchdown:
The Eucharist!
NEED A YEAR END STATEMENT?
Please e-mail your request to our bookkeeper,
Laurie Elliot, at: [email protected]
Please send your name, address & phone number.
Please e-mail info for the bulletin to [email protected] by Sunday. Thank you!
