(Psalm 116:12) The Parish Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 (7/1/20 - 6/30/21) is based on the giving of our faith family for Fiscal Year 2021. The portion of our budget contributed in envelopes, checks and loose cash is $1,768,000.00 or $34,000.00 per week. Contributions for the 21st weekend of the fiscal year were $49,796.00. In the 21st week of our fiscal year, our budgeted goal for ministry programs and ordinary operating expense is $748,000.00 and our collections are $711,223.00. Thank you for your continuing generosity. May God bless you in your sacrificial giving. Lord, help me move from comfort to sacrifice. From the Pastor PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Our Lady of the Annunciation Roman Catholic Parish is a people of living faith rooted in the Gospel, centered on the Eucharist and led by the Holy Spirit. We are inspired by the example of Mary to continue the mission of Jesus Christ by ministering to all. Annunciation Parish Website: www.annunciationparishabq.org SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT In the words of the Prophet Isaiah, the beginning of St. Mark’s Gospel, MK 1:3, reminds us to “prepare the way of the Lord.” As we enter more deeply into the Advent Season, let us look at ways that we might better prepare for Christmas this year using the acronym “prepare”: P is for the purity of heart which leads to the vision of God. R is for reconciliation with God and with others, eschewing the sin, resentment and bitterness that block the divine indwelling. E is for the Eucharist–receiving Our Lord with a grateful heart. P is for penance–acts of self-denial and sacrifice to overcome self-indulgence. A is for almsgiving as we give to the needy and right some of the wrongs of our world. R is for reverence–respect for God and for God’s presence in the world and in our neighbor. E is for eternity–by which we keep our eyes fixed on our eternal destiny, life with God forever. Let us use these treasures and practice them in order to better prepare the way of the Lord! SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION We will begin our celebration of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day and solemnity, on Tuesday, Dec. 8th with three Masses scheduled at 8:30 a.m. (indoors), 12:15 p.m. (indoors) and 5:30 p.md in the rectory chapel. Come and join us as we honor Mary Immaculate as our Mother and the patroness of our nation. RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS Next weekend, Dec. 12-13, we will take up the annual collection for the retired religious sisters, brothers and priests here in the United States. In addition, half of the collection will go to the APRF–the Archdiocesan Priests Relief Fund for the retired priests of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. The other half will go to the national office for all retired religious throughout the United States. Senior religious have offered their lives in service to others, whether Canossians, Paracletes, Vincentian Sisters of Charity, Benedictines, Franciscans, the Brothers of St. John of God (Good Shepherd Brothers) or one of the more than 34,000 other religious above the age of 70 here in America. The situation remains critical as the retired religious are projected to outnumber the compensated religious by four to one at the end of the decade. As the religious have been so generous to us in our education, healthcare and spiritual lives, let us return the blessing with a truly supportive collection next weekend. Thanks to all the religious who have blessed us with grace and love for so many years. God bless you all! PRAYER TO MARY IMMACULATE O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from your sublime height turn upon me your eyes of pity. Filled with confidence in your goodness and knowing full well your power, I beseech you to extend to me your assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly to you. I conse- crate my heart to you forever, my only desire being to love your divine Son Jesus. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse unto you! Amen.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

  • Convents in Kraków in the 20 Th Century
    PRACe GeoGRAFICzne, zeszyt 137 Instytut Geografii i Gospodarki Przestrzennej UJ Kraków 2014, 159 – 173 doi : 10.4467/20833113PG.14.014.2159 Convents in KraKów in the 20 th Century Justyna Liro Abstract : Religious orders are clearly noticeable in the geographic space of major cities in Poland. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the location factors for religious orders in Kraków, including the location of the most important houses and their related activity in the city. Religious orders have been present in Kraków since its beginnings. The paper covers convents run by the Roman Catholic Church within the borders of Kraków. The paper is focused on the 20th century when a considerable increase of the number of religious orders and general spatial development of the city was observed. The data for this paper was obtained from church and secular sources, as well as land surveys. In addition, changes in the spatial distribution of religious orders and monastic houses operating in Kraków in the 20th century as well as modifications in their functions were analysed. The largest concentration of monastic houses is Kraków’s historic core. The actual distribution of convents is a result of centuries- old traditions and depends on numerous factors such as the capital city function of Kraków in effect until the end of the 16th century and the rank of religious administration ( bishopric ). A further increase in the number of monastic houses was also due to the spatial growth of the city and the general development of monastic life. Religious orders were characterised by various endogenous and exogenous functions.

May the Advent and Christmas Season help us find all the riches that God has placed in our lives and in each family. Before the unique beauty of the family from Nazareth, we are all invited to behold and contemplate the aspects of charity: the same charity that Jesus brought to earth, that same charity that was experienced by the shepherds and wise men and certainly experienced in the Holy house. Charity that Magdalene, as indicated in the “Plan of the Tertiaries”, recommends “The Tertiaries sanctify themselves in the accomplishment of their daily duties and in so doing engage themselves in works of charity, in their families and outside”. I wish to all, to each family as well to each lay to make good: in a simply and hidden or in an organized way, according to the opportunities that are presented or with the inspirations that God sends to us.

We believe that it is important to deepen our charism and grow in our rootedness as Canossian and religious. The Sisters’ request to “slow down” echoes a desire to spend more time to listen from within and without.
