Third Sunday of Advent
This week, in addition to the first two purple candles, we
light the pink (rose) candle. The pink candle is known as
the shepherds’ candle.
The third week of Advent means “Joy”. From Jesus
Christ we have received so much love, beauty and joy for
the simple things in life. This week let us be reminded of
the simple things in life that don’t cost money. Let’s share
special family time together.

Christmas Flower Memorials
Envelopes have been placed in the pews for those wishing to help
defray the cost of flowers and decorations for the church this Christmas.
Anyone wishing to make a donation of at least $10.00 per name may
memorialize a deceased family member or friend. Please print legibly
the information on the envelope. The names of all persons in whose
memory flowers have been donated will be printed in a special memorial
booklet and distributed at all Christmas Masses. These special envelopes
may be placed in the collection with your Sunday Offering. Your efforts
will not only help beautify the church for the coming of Christ, but will
also honor a loved one in a very special way.
All envelopes must be turned in
THIS WEEKEND!
NO EXCEPTIONS!
