HAPPENING IN OUR GROUPING 2 Merry Christmas to all!!

May Jesus, our Savior, increase in each of us the capacity to love more deeply. Let us live with renewed appreciation.

From your Parish Grouping Staff

3 HAPPENING IN OUR GROUPING

YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT TO THE PARISH A special Message from Father Joe This Christmas, I am appealing to your extra kindness and generosity to our parishes. Everyone prepares a special gift to the parish where we are members and where we are served regularly. This year I am asking all of our parishioners to consider making an extra special contribution to our parish. We have been through some very difficult times together. I hope you are seeing some stability return to our Parish Family in both parishes. I hope you have noticed the ways our clergy team is working hard to assure you of our love and pastoral con- cern. Because of your generosity already, I have been able to hire some of the finest pastoral staff members in the entire diocese. They joined us because they believe in the potential of our urban parish and what we can do together for the Kingdom of God in our midst. There is so much more we can do! But we need you, your deep and sincere spirituality, your prayers, your witness to Christ among us, your ideas and leadership, your volun- teerism and right now your financial support. Please pray and discern what is the most you and your family can afford to donate in the Christmas Mass collection. I know you will give in accordance to your love. Thank you for considering this very important and necessary appeal to your extra generosity this year. May God bless you for whatever extra help you can give. If you are not able to increase your donation this year for some reason, please know I understand. Your prayers for us are the most important gift you can give. Thank you.

Some Children See Him

Some children see Him lily white, The baby Jesus born this night. Some children see Him lily white, With dresses soft and fair.

Some children see Him bronzed and brown, The Lord of heav’n to earth come down. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, With dark and heavy hair.

Some children see Him almond-eyed, This Savior whom we kneel beside. Some children see Him almond-eyed, With skin of yellow hue.

Some children see Him dark as they, Sweet Mary’s Son to whom we pray. Some children see him dark as they, And, ah! they love Him, too!

The children in each different place Will see the baby Jesus’ face Like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace, And filled with holy light. O lay aside each earthly thing And with thy heart as offering, Come worship now the infant King. ‘Tis love that’s born tonight!

CHRISTMAS WAFER TRADITION IN YOUR HOME You do not have to be Slovak, Polish or Lithuanian to observe the beautiful tradition of the Christmas Wafers (Oplatki) at your family table on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The spiritual lesson in this age-old custom is about unity and peace in the family. Again this weekend, packets of the three white and one pink bread wafers are available in the vestibule of Sacred Heart and Saint Raphael Parishes until supplies run out. There is no charge for the packet (but a free will offering will be accepted to cover the parish costs if you want to donate.) What is more important however is that your family consider joining the growing number of families in our country discovering this meaningful tradition. Complete directions on how to conduct the brief Oplatki service can be found on the back of the packets. Please consider taking a packet home for Christmas while they last. And let us know what your family thought about celebrating this ceremony at the table.

HAPPENING IN OUR GROUPING 6

On October 13, 2019, at our Young Family Meeting, participants expressed a great interest in an effort to im- plement the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS). In an effort to do that, a small group of about six members (staff and parishioners) will begin to meet monthly from January through June to discern a plan to establish CGS in our grouping. On January 19, 2020 (snow day, January 26), an information session will be scheduled for all parishioners to hear about CGS and answer any questions that you may have. Kathy Klocek, a parishioner and a catechist trained in all 3 levels of the Catechesis will speak. She will also facilitate the planning meetings. Here is the timeline: February 2020 - The first meeting will work to have members get to know each other and to begin the work of discerning how God would like CGS implemented. March - April 2020 - The next two meetings will study the book the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in a Parish Setting by Tina Lillig. May - June 2020 - The last meetings will be to draft a plan of implementation which will be proposed to the Pastoral Council and Finance Council for their consultation and recommendations to Fr. Mele.

SPIRITUAL RENEWAL IN THE NEW YEAR

Please mark your 2020 calendar and plan to attend two programs intended to continue our parish’s healing in the wake of several storms which have shaken our faith community recently.

On Thursday evenings, February 6 and 13, Eileen Colianni, counselor, retreat facilitator, and speaker on psy- chological/ spiritual topics, will present: “After the Storms: Healing, Forgiveness...Hope”.

Eileen returns during Lent to conduct a three-session series: “Putting on Christ: His mind, His heart, His likeness” on Thursdays March 5, 12, 19. Here’s an opportunity for Lenten spiritual nourishment beyond giving up chocolate!

We’ve designed these programs with your well-being in mind. They are opportunities to re- fresh your weary spirits, as well as to restore the warmth and vibrancy of our parish family.

Plan to be there so that we can make our name – bestpghparish – a reality!
