The Good News December 2019
THE GOOD NEWS DECEMBER 2019 Dear Parents, I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with fun, food, family, and friends! We began our day with a wonderful parish Thanksgiving Mass! Thank you so much to our wonderful Religious Education Students who participated as Readers, Greeters, Altar Preparers, Gift Presenters and Altar Servers: Sigmmond & Nash Antony, Alfina, Penelope, Zarina and Zeke Eull, Ashelyn Tablan, Michael and David Solimondo, Anthony La Firenza, Devyn Rochford, Caitlyn Nicole & Kian Wong, Mary Soto, Brenna Bitcon, Gabby Baluyot, Christopher Foes, Isabella Schwartz, Ariana Henderson, Dean & Nathan Staso, Patrick Babuder, and Anthony and Raymond Biedenbeder. Also, special thanks to our teachers: Barbara Mullen, Jeannie Haworth, Barbara Molina, Robyn Solimando, Yoli Baluyot and Caroline Anthony for all their help at the practice and Mass. We turn the corner and the Advent/Christmas Season is upon us…… Back by popular demand this year! Last week I sent home, with the oldest child, a Liturgical Calendar for each family. It is identical to the ones that are used in the classroom with the children. You will notice that this is no ordinary calendar. It is not organized by months and weeks and days. Instead, it is a circle of Sundays, seasons, and feasts. Each Sunday is represented by a block that is the color of the liturgical season in which the Sunday falls. Noted in the block is the Gospel reading for that Sunday. On the back side of the calendar is some information about St. Matthew. There are many ways to use the calendar during the year, some suggestions are in the Family Guide.
