1. Thank you to St. Nicholas and to all who made the party at St. John’s last week so enjoyable! Today, St. Nicholas will visit the children at St. Frances after the 10:30am Mass

2. This week, on Friday, December 13, 7pm, our own parish musicians will present an Advent/Christmas concert at St. John. We are blessed by their ministry and talent!

3. Monday, December 16, 7pm, the Children’s Choir and Religious Education classes will present a Christmas Pageant at St. Frances Cabrini. Hope to see you there!

4. We are in the second week of Advent. During this time, let us utilize these easy tools to help enrich our spiritual lives: Take timeto quiet yourself before God in prayer; Review nancial records tomake sure you have given as God asks for charity and your Church. Examine your life: Rejoice in the good and be grateful; when yound sin, go in joy to confession and receive the great mercy of ourGod! In these few ways, God can give you (and the world) the peace and blessings that we cannot achieve easily on our own!

5. Confession - Please make time to go to confession. If the sched- uled times do not work for you, email me at pastor@eastriercatho-lics.org or call the rectory of ce to schedule an appointment.Monday, December 16 is ‘Reconciliation Monday’; please see our schedule in the bulletin or on eastrivercatholics.org.
