Our Annual “Giving Tree” Tradition continues until Sunday, December 16th. The “Giving Tree” benefits “Catholic Guardian Services”, a not-for- profit provider of foster care, adoption services and residential programs for people with developmental disabilities. Catholic Guardian Services has asked for a change in the way that they receive the Christmas gifts from the various Churches and organizations that assist them at this important time. They want the presents gathered, for the children, unwrapped. I am sure they have a reason for this change but, they did not share it with us. Please take some time to pick an ornament or tag from the tree and return the unwrapped gift with the ornament/tag attached to it. Each ornament contains the gender and age (from newborns up to the age of 15) of the child. You may give the appropriate gift — toys, clothes, towels, winter accessories, gift cards, etc.. Thank you for your anticipated participation of this worthy cause.

Next Sunday, December 16th at 3:30pm we will have “Lessons and Carols”. What is that? It is a moment when we listen to different scriptural readings regarding the coming of Jesus and His birth. Between each of the readings there is a musical selection chosen. Some of these will be sung by the choir and others are sung by hose who attend.

Why not use these “Lessons and Carols” to help prepare spiritually for Christmas. All of us could use a little spiritual booster shot, and enter into the joy of the Advent season. Believe me, when it is over, you will come out smiling and uplifted.

We are using an important communication tool in order to connect with our Parishioners. In signing up you will receive reminders of Masses, special events or important communications from the Parish. Over these past several weeks we have wished our parishioners a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day and a Happy Saint Joseph’s Day and even a Happy Easter. We have reminded everyone of the times for our Masses and services during this past Holy Week and even we reminded everyone to put their clock ahead one hour when we had to spring ahead. Some people have said to us that they don't mind getting communications from Blessed Sacrament but they don't want anything coming from anyone else. When you sign up you can exclude any other group from sending you a message by delisting them so that you will only get messages from us. Sometimes we need reminders of what is taking place and the time it is taking place.
