Good News

We begin the season of Advent - a time of waiting for the Lord to come at Christmas. All the prophets announced the coming of the Lord. Being this is a busy season for shopping and getting ready for Christmas, let us take time out and think of Christ as the New Born Babe who came to save us.

CCD NEWS - No CCD today because of Thanksgiving Weekend. Sun. Dec. 6th, all students will attend the 9:00 AM Mass. Grades 1-8 will then meet from 10:00 - 11:30 AM.

The trip to the LaSallette Shrine sponsored by the Rosary Sodality will leave on Tues. Dec. 1st at 3 PM in front of the church. Please be on time. We hope to return by 10:30 PM. If you have not paid yet, you may pay Dee on the bus.

Attention all Singers - we will have a joint choir for the 4:00 PM Christmas Eve Mass at Holy Spirit Church. Rehearsals begin Tues., Dec. 1st at 7:00 PM at Holy Spirit Church. Please let Sharon Sawtell (632-7216) know you will be joining us so there will be sufficient music for all. Look forward to seeing you there! All Are Welcome!!

First Friday of the month is this week. Mass will be at 7:30 AM.

Sodality Christmas Party, Sun, Dec. 6th after the 10:30 Mass. Sign up sheets for the pot luck lunch are in the back of the church.

CALENDARS for 2010 are available for anyone who wants a Catholic calendar. Thanks to the PAV and Auxiliary and Poliks Funeral Home for sponsoring them.

Fifth Annual Festival of Trees - presented by the Gardner Museum. Again this year, St. Joseph will be sponsoring a tree. The Museum tree exhibit runs from November 11 to Dec 5, Wednesdays through Sundays only. There are raffle drawings of the trees, doll houses and baskets to benefit the Museum. Admission is $3.00.

2010 Church Bulletin - this the the time of the year when we contact businesses to advertise in our bulletin to help defray the cost of printing, creating, and distributing the weekly bulletin. Because of the tough economic conditions, many of our contacts are either no longer in business or are unable to continue to help us. Consequently, we would like to try something a bit different this year in addition to the business listings. We would like to place a list of names on the bulletin under the headings "In Memory of" and "In Honor of." For the cost of $20.00 per listing, a special family member or friend can be listed on the bulletin for the entire year. If you would like to participate in this endeavor, please provide the information below and drop it in the basket with your $20/listing contribution. If is ia great way to honor your loved ones and it will help the parish greatley in defraying the bulletin costs. Please return the information and donations by December 6. Thank you.
