Dear Parish Family Member(s):
Although our Christian forebears celebrated Easter long before they celebrated Christmas and in spite of the fact that Easter is indeed the Principal Feast Day of the Church, Christmas is the sentimental and even religious favorite for most of us. I’ll be home for Easter is simply not the same as I’ll be home for Christmas, is it?
And even though so much of American Society is irreparably secular and schools of all levels have Spring Breaks which do not coincide with either Holy Week or Easter Week, schools are still shut for the days surrounding Christmas – and even if they don’t call it Christmas Vacation - we know that it is!
In preparation for Christmas, we celebrate our Advent Season, a time of joyous preparation. The Season of Advent can help us put our lives and responsibilities in perspective.
Take some time to nourish your spirit as Christmas approaches. Make Advent a special time of anticipation as you and your family prepare for Christmas. Pray the meditations contained in The Word Among Us that are available beginning the first weekend of Advent. Enjoy our Choir’s Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 15 th at 3:00 p.m.
Don’t forget to make the celebration of the Eucharist a key part of your Christmas Day! The Eucharist will be celebrated here at Our Lady of Perpetual Help three times on Tuesday evening, Christmas Eve, and three times on Christmas Wednesday.
Come to Mass and sing beautiful Christmas Carols with your Parish Family. Allow your children to hear the Gospel accounts of the birth of Jesus - be reminded of them yourself! Help your youngsters to understand that if it hadn’t been for Jesus, there would be no Saint Nicholas - Santa Claus - that if God hadn’t given the world the gift of His Son, we would not be giving and receiving gifts either.
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! The Lord be with your spirit today and every day!
Sincerely,
Rev. Thomas Paul Lipnicki, Pastor
