In the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul, our inclusive community welcomes, affirms and serves both the poorest of the poor and those who are alienated and most vulnerable among us. Our individual faith journeys join together in the celebration of the Eucharist. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will continue to nurture the gifts of all our members. Our parish family will draw strength and unity from diversity. We will foster an atmosphere of warmth, hospitality and prayerfulness. We pray that our commitment to these efforts will further the mission of being one with our God and one with each other. The DePaul Catholic School, An Independent Mission School 44 W.

Secure Communities and the ICE holds program are failed policies. ICE holds have been repeatedly found to be unconstitutional, and to be a driving force behind the breakdown in trust between immigrant residents and local government. Communities organized to fight these policies across the country, and they succeeded. To go back and repeat these destructive policies only opens up possibilities for more abuses against our communities while avoiding the deeper causes of violence, as well as leaving our city vulnerable to lawsuits for violations of people’s rights. We need policies that reflect our values as a society, that honor our community’s dignity, that respects the diversity of our lives and are grounded in the belief of redemption.

The tragedy of Kathryn Steinle’s death should not be manipulated by those who see this as an opportunity to push a political agenda. Creating safer communities is a goal shared across the divisions some seek to exploit. PFUN will continue to push for meaningful reform and dialogue toward this end.

The Philadelphia Family Unity Network (PFUN) is a grassroots coalition that ended all ICE holds in Philadelphia in April 2014. PFUN is 1 Love Movement, Juntos, New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition, and Victim/Witness Services of South Philadelphia.

PETITIONS for the Fourth Sunday of Advent December 22-23, 2018

Note: Add "Let us pray to the Lord" after each petition at the 11:00 a.m. Mass

For the Christian people, that the members of Christ's Body attain spiritual maturity, valuing godliness more than worldly success and the accumulating of wealth.

For the sheep of Christ's fold, that they would be safe and secure in God's hands in this time of deception and confusion when it is easy to lose one's way.

For the world, that, like Mary, followers of Christ reach out beyond home and its security to serve those in need.

For Christians, Jews, and Muslims: that God's spirit will open new pathways of peace and bring forth new hope for ail who live in fear.

For those who have experienced abuse, that God heal their wounds and memories, free them from fear and bring them to an awareness of their dignity.

For the sorrowing, that light and life surround and penetrate them and the Christmas season be a time of joy and healing. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR DECEMBER 22^^ AND 23*^°, 2018
