_____________________________________________ CHRISTMAS DAY MASS OBLIGATION Question: Is it obligatory to go to Mass on Christmas Day, which this year falls on a Monday, if someone has gone Dec. 24 (Sunday) in the morning? Answer: Yes, there are two Mass obligations, the Sunday obligation and the Christmas obligation. A person cannot fulfill both obligations with one Mass. In order to fulfill a Mass obligation, we must attend either on the day of the feast or on the evening preceding (Code of Canon Law 1248). Therefore, a Sunday morning Mass could not possibly qualify as satisfying the Mass obligation the following day, since it is in the morning. In order to satisfy the Sunday obligation, a Catholic could attend the Saturday evening Mass or Sunday morning Masses. In order to satisfy the Christmas obligation, a Catholic could attend Mass on Sunday at the Christmas Eve Vigil or Christmas Day. NEW YEAR’S DAY The holy day obligation for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, on January 1 is not binding this year because it will fall on Monday: "Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is not binding” Catholic Answers Press (http://catholicanswerspress.com) Also, referenced Carol Zimmermann, Catholic News Service

Classroom Highlight
3rd Grade (3B) -- Mrs. Mary Audio SHARE THE JOURNEY When Pope Francis launched the campaign from Saint Peter’s Square on September 27th to invite everyone around the world to “Share the Journey” with refugees and immigrants, I wanted to have my students in 3B participate in this campaign by becoming aware of their cultural backgrounds. I thought that if each of my students could find out what country their ancestors came from, they could appreciate the diversity we have in our country. I felt that this was an opportunity for all of us to share something of ourselves and to be part of the ‘journey’ which is the vision of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. I sent home a world map with each student so they could get their parents to mark a spot on the map to show where their Great Grandparents, Grandparents and perhaps other family members were born. Students looked up on the computer some different facts about their ancestor’s country including food and customs. They then designed a family shield to display all of this information. We discussed the different countries in class and marked the world map with a pin. Thank you to our 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Audio for all she does for our students. Please keep her and her students in your prayers this week. _______________________________________________________

Stewardship Faith “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” – LUKE 1:28 Faith is a gift from God. Take time in silence and thank Him for all the gifts He has given you. Try to set aside any anger or resentment you have and really open your heart to receive the gift of God’s mercy and forgiveness. We can’t give Stewardship we don’t live. We need to receive God’s mercy and forgiveness first before we can give it to others. _____________________________________________

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT, DECEMBER 24, 2017 RESPECT LIFE January 17th (Wednesday evening; 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.): There will be a Holy Hour (Adoration and Benediction) in our Church as we pray for an end to abortion. January 31st (Wednesday evening; 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.; Marian Hall): Dr. Gerald Burke, MD, will be here to discuss: "Infertility Care in a Secular World: What is a Catholic Couple to Do"? One in six couples have difficulties conceiving. A large and lucrative industry has arisen to address these difficulties. Unfortunately, this industry is dedicated to employing only the most expensive fertility technologies, many of which are not needed and pose conflicts for Catholic couples who wish to lead their lives in accordance with our Catholic Faith. What is a practicing Catholic to do? Dr. Burke, a fellowship trained reproductive and infertility specialist (from Cherry Hill, NJ), with 32 years of clinical experience helping couples achieve pregnancies employing techniques that conform to the Catholic Faith, will present the spectrum of fertility evaluation and treatment methods available today with emphasis not just on indications and success rates - he will also speak about the conformance of these treatments to the teachings of our Catholic Faith. This presentation is not just for couples who are having difficulty conceiving. Parents and grandparents of these couples will also benefit from the information shared by Dr. Burke.
_________________________________________ ST. JOSEPH'S MEN - TAKE COURAGE, BE A MAN! Saint Joseph's Men are dedicated to helping Catholic men become the men God created them to be.

The Holy Spirit is speaking, are you listening? Are you up to the challenge and responsibility of being a Catholic man? We meet in Marian Hall ________________________________________________

DID YOU KNOW? The birthplace of Jesus-Bethlehem – means “house of bread.” Many ancient commentators interpreted this as prefiguring the Eucharist. Jesus came to earth in the “house of bread” and comes to us in the form of Living Bread every time we receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament.
