"Jesus in the confessional is not a dry cleaner: it is an<br />
encounter with Jesus, who waits for us just as we are. Is going<br />
to confession like a torture session? No! It is going to praise<br />
God, because I, a sinner, have been saved by Him. And is He<br />
waiting to beat me? No, he waits with tenderness to forgive<br />
me. And if tomorrow I do the same? Go again, and go and go<br />
and go. He always waits for us.” - Pope Francis. Our <strong>Advent</strong> Day of<br />
Confessions will be held on Friday, December 16 th .<br />

LIGHT UP FOR CHRIST<br />
In a time when all things religious<br />
are being discouraged and swept<br />
away, it’s refreshing to know that<br />
the Knights of Columbus established<br />
the “Keep Christ in Christmas”<br />
campaign to remind people that<br />
Christmas is above all a Holy Day<br />
celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.<br />
Please join us on Tuesday -<br />
December 6, 2016 @ 8.00 PM in the foyer of the Church for<br />
the lighting ceremony and at precisely 8 p.m., local time when<br />
we would throw the switch to “Light Up For Christ.” This is the<br />
first year we start a great tradition and help spread the joyful<br />
tidings of Christmas.<br />
