  FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

 

               

                The Season of Advent which begins this weekend and lasts for four weeks marks the beginning

 of the Church’s new liturgical year.

                As we light the Advent wreath candles each week, symbolizing Christ the Light of the world

 overcoming darkness and warming a cold world, we are called upon to change and to reform ourselves

 and to make straight the way of the Lord in our lives.

                And so let us pray for the grace to love and to serve the Lord in each other.  Let us pray for hope

 and peace as we live His message of long ago.

                                                                                                                Father Ed Lipinski                                               

                                                                                                                      

  St. Joseph’s Restoration Fund Raising Appeal – we have collected $650,822.05 in pledges and cash

  donations from 882 donors. Have we received your donation yet?  Your positive response of  $1,000 or

  more will be acknowledged on a special plaque.  This plaque honoring all who have donated $1,000 or more

  Saturday, Dec. 15th and Sunday, Dec. 16th, please bring to church your Baby Jesus, only the Baby Jesus, from

  Holidays.
