Parish Bulletin Article: "Seven days to Christmas!": 12-17-17

            Only seven days until Christmas Eve!
We had some fun events last weekend.  We had a tasty brunch at St. Columban with a craft and baked sale after their Mass.  Then, after Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas we had a delicious lunch with spaghetti and our St. Thomas Aquinas School students sang a few songs to prepare themselves for their concert later that week.
Please continue to discern and pray for stewardship—time, talent and treasure—as Advent is a perfect time to get ready for Christmas.
I mentioned last weekend as a way to support St. Thomas Aquinas.  To our parishioners there, I asked if we could together shovel the sidewalks around our parish and school.  If we can have 10-15 parishioners, we could save money through your time instead of paying with a contract to someone else.  We can take another step forward together with our family.
For all parishioners, please come on Tuesday evening for worship, prayer, and confession at St. Thomas Aquinas.  We will have a wonderful time towards the last days to prepare your heart for Christmas.
Finally, I am proud of all of you.  I am pleased that all of us are continuing to grow with conversations, relationships, and community events.  Let’s keep building our whole family as this shows depth to walk together with both Advent and our friendship with Jesus Christ.

God Bless!
