Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I wish this letter to be the Christmas card to all of you, especially for those who did not receive any cards, who are alone tonight, or away from family and friends.

“And so, this is Christmas!” After four weeks preparing ourselves during Advent, we welcome into our hearts, the Child Jesus who is born for us. In order to celebrate Christmas, it is necessary to have faith, otherwise it will be like any other holiday.

Christmas is the greatest time of adoration, in which the divine (angels) and the human (Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds), heaven and earth, come together to contemplate the birth of our Savior. In this silent night, as the Prophet says “For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.” (Is 9:6)

Let us celebrate Christmas with holiness, having in our hearts that which is essential, namely, love, friendship, forgiveness and reconciliation. As we celebrate it with our families and friends, let’s not forget HIM in our prayers and in our hearts. He is the main focus of this day/season. Indeed, he is the focus of our lives, the light that shines in our darkness.

As we exchange gifts these days, keep in mind the words of Benedict XVI at the midnight mass in 2006, “Among the many gifts that we buy and receive, let us not forget the true gift: to give each other something of ourselves, to give each other something of our time, to open our time to God.” Regardless if the gift is expensive or cheap, whoever cannot give a little bit of himself with the gift, always gives little. And if someone does not receive any gifts, remember that in this Holy Night, we can receive the greatest gift ever, God, himself is given to us! God takes our humanity, so that He can give us His divinity!

I pray that the Child Jesus may find the doors of our hearts opened to receive Him, so that we can glorify and praise God for all we have heard and seen.

On behalf of our priests, staff and IC parish and school community we wish you and your family MERRY CHRISTMAS, FELIZ NAVIDAD, FELIZ NATAL, JOYEUX NOËL.

God bless, Fr. Steven

This season of Advent has been a wonderful opportunity for our students. They have learned the meaning that lies behind the symbols the Church uses to help us enter into this period before the coming of our Savior. The Advent Wreaths, their greenery and circular shape are a sign that God the Father has no beginning or end and are a reminder of eternal life. Students know that the four candles represent the four weeks until the celebration of Christmas. They have learned that the colors of the candles are our liturgical colors: purple for preparation and rose for joy. And finally, the light of the candle reminds us that Christ is our Light and that in Him there is no darkness.

With our faith in mind during this Advent season it has been nothing but the utmost joy to celebrate this time with our children, who in their religion classes have begun to enter in what the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is and what it means to them. As we prepare for the birth of our Savior we remember to keep the real reason for the season in our hearts. Sometimes the rush and craziness get in the way of remembering what Christmas is all about. For this reason, our children always await the opportunity to partici- pate in the Immaculate Conception’s Giving Tree (Advent Children Project). For they learn that giving is much more im- portant than receiving and to help those who are less fortunate in our community. We are both blessed and grateful for the generosity of our families and parishioners who have not just supported us through donations, but also as shopping angels.

We want to thank all the parishioners who have helped us participating of the Advent Giving tree. Also, thank you for your support to the school fundraisers with the Wreath Sale and the Christmas Breakfast. We want to than especially the ICSPA for organizing the Christmas Breakfast. It was a great success!

We wish you a wonderful season and a very Merry Christmas! ======Estimadas Familias de ICS y Feligreses de IC, Esta temporada de Adviento ha sido una oportunidad maravillosa para nuestros estudiantes. Han aprendido el significado detrás de los símbolos que la Iglesia usa para ayudarnos a entrar en este período antes de la venida de nuestro Salvador. Las Coronas de Adviento, el verde y su forma circular son una señal de que Dios el Padre no tiene principio ni fin y son un recordatorio de la vida eterna. Los estudiantes saben que las cuatro velas representan las cuatro semanas hasta la cele- bración de la Navidad. Han aprendido que los colores de las velas son nuestros colores litúrgicos: púrpura para la prepara- ción y rosa para la alegría. Y finalmente, la luz de la vela nos recuerda que Cristo es nuestra Luz y que en Él no hay oscu- ridad.

Con nuestra fe en mente durante esta temporada de Adviento, has sido de máxima alegria celebrar este tiempo con nues- tros estudiantes, quienes en sus clases de religión han comenzado a comprender qué es la Segunda Venida de Jesucristo y lo que significa para ellos. Mientras nos preparamos para el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador, recordamos mantener el verdadero significado de esta temporada en nuestros corazones. A veces, la prisa y la locura se interponen en el recuerdo de lo que se trata la Navidad. Por esta razón, nuestros niños siempre esperan la oportunidad de participar en el Árbol de Donación de la Inmaculada Concepción (Proyecto Advent Children). Porque aprenden que dar es mucho más importante que recibir y ayudar a aquellos que son menos afortunados en nuestra comunidad. Estamos bendecidos y agradecidos por la generosidad de nuestras familias y feligreses que no solo nos han apoyado a través de donaciones, sino tambien como "angeles de compras".

¡Les deseamos una temporada maravillosa y una muy feliz Navidad! ======Queridas famílias do ICS e paroquianos do IC, esta temporada do Advento tem sido uma oportunidade maravilhosa para nossos alunos. Eles aprenderam o significado que está por trás dos símbolos que a Igreja usa para nos ajudar a entrar nesse período antes da vinda de nosso Salvador. As Grinaldas do Advento, sua vegetação e sua forma circular, são um sinal de que Deus Pai não tem começo nem fim e são um lembrete da vida eterna. Os alunos sabem que as quatro velas representam as quatro semanas até a celebração do Natal. Eles aprenderam que as cores das velas são as cores litúrgicas: roxo para a preparação e rosa de alegria. E, finalmente, a luz da vela nos lembra que Cristo é a nossa Luz e que Nele não há trevas.

Com a nossa fé durante a época do Advento, não foi nada além da maior alegria celebrar esse tempo com nossos filhos, que em suas classes religiosas começaram a entrar no que é a Segunda Vinda de Jesus Cristo e o que significa para eles. Ao nos prepararmos para o nascimento de nosso Salvador, lembramos de manter em nossos corações a verdadeira razão da temporada. Às vezes, a pressa e a loucura atrapalham a lembrança do que é o Natal. Por esse motivo, nossas crianças sempre aguardam a oportunidade de participar da Árvore de Doação da Imaculada Conceição (Projeto Advent Children). Pois eles aprendem que dar é muito mais importante do que receber e ajudar aqueles que têm menos sorte em nossa co- munidade. Somos abençoados e gratos pela generosidade de nossas famílias e paroquianos que não apenas nos apoia- ram através de doações, mas também como "anjos de compras".

Desejamos a você uma temporada maravilhosa e um Feliz Natal! Christmas Flower Remembrances

A: [in next week's bulletin] Answer to Quiz #18 Q: Why is the Old Testament Important? A: "The Old Testament is indispensable in understanding the New. The New Testament is the climax to a story, if you don't know the first part of a story, then the ending doesn't mean that much." [Bishop Robert Barron] St. Augustine observed, "The New Testament lies hidden in the Old, and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New."
