A Christmas Pledge I believe that Christmas is the joyful celebration of the birth of Christ. Therefore, I commit myself to celebrate it in a way that is faithful to its meaning. Jesus is a radically free person; he came to liberate others. Therefore: I will examine my motives for celebrating Christmas. I will not spend money to impress others. I will avoid doing anything to obligate others to spend on me. I will not engage in excess of eating, drinking, partying or anything that will reduce the freedom of myself or others. I will include alternatives to alcohol and cholesterol when I entertain. Jesus respects all life: he came that we might have life in its fullness, Therefore: I will give gifts and do activities only if they enhance life – for myself and for others. I will avoid gifts that are gadgets, made by complicated energy-consuming processes that excessively pollute the environment. I will choose gifts that rely on the involvement, energy and ingenuity of the recipient. I will avoid buying items made by exploited workers whose land and labor are sacrificed to tempt my consumer goods before I buy. I will question the source of consumer goods before I buy. Jesus cares about all people; he came to involve himself with others. Therefore: I will celebrate Christmas by sharing of myself more than of my property. I will give gifts of service which involve my time, my work, and my spoken and written words, my art, my song, my Due to so many funerals presence – and other things that are not objects – whenever possible. and Sacraments here at I will use some of my time to visit family, friends, and those Holy Name of Mary, who have less, hurt more and have been forgotten. I will chose gifts that involve me and/or the recipient in their we had a second Paschal creation and use. Candle made by Fr. Bill.

10 3RD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Our annual Blue Christmas Service will be on Friday the 20th of December at 7:00 p.m. the church. This unique evening is meant to provide a quiet, contemplative service as an alternative to the more traditional gatherings as a way to provide validation and care for those who are sad or struggling while all those around them are caught up in happy celebrating. This is also known as the Longest Night Service.

Many in our congregation are struggling with different kinds of pain and loss at the moment and are ‘not feeling very Christmassy’ this year. We gather together this evening in the midst of the mess and pain we know in our own everyday lives and the lives of those around us to lean on and become shelter for one another’s hearts.

SIMBANG GABI MASS My memories of Simbang Gabi… By Deacon Amante Pulido My fondness of the season of advent always recalls my childhood celebrations of it. To me, then, the real "Christmas" season began when we trekked back to our country home to meet up with three or four other families and stay at the huge family home for the duration of the season, which always ended, it seems, after the Feast of the Three Kings. We would always arrive the eve of the first of the novena (nine) of dawn Masses we know as Simbang Gabi, so that we can be rested for the offering of attending these nine Masses. We would all have to get up even before the crack of dawn, trying to beat the town roosters, including ours, before they crowed. This is also why each of these Masses is called "Misa de Gallo" - "Mass of the Rooster." First to wake up became a game and an obsession, in addition to trying to have the first dibs at the bathrooms. When ready, we would all just walk to the Church, luckily just across the street, and across the field that made up the back of the church property. Just we kids, our parents, and our grown up cousins and uncles and aunts. I remember the old baroque church constructed during the early years of Spanish influence, about four hundred or so years ago - and its unheated, cold, uncovered, stone walls and floors, and about a mile long of aisle to the altar - and the adults preferring to sit as close as possible to the altar. I don't remember much of anything between the beginning and end of Mass, of course, except that I caught up with some lost sleep leaned against the arm of whoever was next to me. It was always the "after-Mass" that I remember fondly. Lined up along the walkway and courtyard were rows of food vendors that served the many different delicacies of the season. We would always get our fill BE- FORE feasting at breakfast (how's that for dessert first). This of course went on for nine days, but on that last day we would then go from house to house to share and break bread with those who lived there.

Come and join us for our celebration of Simbang Gabi. Saturday, December 21, at 5:00pm, and break bread with us afterwards.

CHRISTMAS ART AND ENVIRONMENT Every Christmas our sanctuary is filled with fragrant trees, handmade decorations and poinsettias. We invite you to take part in the decor of our Church. Now through December 20th you may donate in honor of or memory of a loved one. This is a beautiful way to remember and/or give thanks for the special people in your life.

The names of those being honored or memorialized will appear throughout the church décor throughout the Christmas Season.
