Baptisms November 28, 2010
St. Walter Church “may all who enter share the love of our community” December 5, 2010 Second of Advent Page 2 Second Sunday of Advent December 5, 2010 SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT The saints of Advent are filled with hope and promise. Isaiah proclaims his vision of the peaceable kingdom. St. Nicholas, whose feast is Monday, brings unexpected treats. Our Lady of Guadalupe, whom we celebrate next weekend, gives hope to the oppressed peoples of the Americas. And John the Baptist proclaims a message that is at once challenge and hope. The hope offered by John is born out of an expectation of conversion. Only when one repents will the hope be fulfilled, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION December 8, 2010 Each church year during the season of Advent, Catholics celebrate the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day of obligation. This Marian feast celebrates that God, from the moments of Mary's conception, preserved Mary from original sin. It is Luke who shows a special interest in Mary, and who helps us understand the important role that Mary has in salvation history. As we prepare for the birth of Jesus and anticipate the return of Christ, our church calendar calls us to celebrate the gift that God has bestowed upon us in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. During Advent, we set aside some time to honor Mary, a mother filled with divine grace, whose act of obedience to God brought about the birth of the Messiah. Masses at St. Walter for the holy day will be Tuesday evening December 7 at 5 PM; and Wednesday, December 8 at 6:30 AM, 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM. SEDE VACANTE This past Wednesday, Archbishop J. Peter Sartain was installed as the Archbishop of Seattle, Washington. With his installation, the Diocese of Joliet is "sede vacante" -- the seat (cathedra of the Bishop) being vacant. In the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, the name of Benedict, our Pope is mentioned but no mention of a Bishop -- only auxiliary Bishop Joseph (Siegel) and retired Bishop Joseph (Imesch). As our diocese awaits the announcement of a new Bishop, pray the following prayer each day as we seek God's guidance upon his selection: Lord God, you are Eternal Shepherd and guide. In your mercy grant the Diocese of Joliet a Shepherd who will walk in your ways, and whose watchful care will bring us your blessing. In your love for us, give us the joy of receiving a Shepherd who will be an example of goodness to your people; and who will fill our hearts and minds with the truth of the Gospel. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.

Annual Thanksgiving Liturgy THANK YOU to all those who participated in the Thanksgiving Day Fellowship and to those who helped serve, it was greatly appreciated Page 4 Second Sunday of Advent December 5, 2010 The last few ornament tags that remain on our trees will hopefully be gone by the time many of us see this update. Your generosity and support will once again bring smiles to many, many faces this Christmas Season. Thank you. Next Sunday, December 12th, is the LAST day to return your gift to the church. Please don’t delay! Your gift is intended for the individual noted on the ornament. It is not possible to get gifts received after the deadline to that person. Late gifts mean that someone will go unnoticed. P lease be mindful of the person for whom you are shopping. As you bring your gift to church, please remember to offer a special prayer for the recipient. God hears all of our prayers—even those held in the quiet of our heart.

The call to evangelize first given to us by Christ requires that we proclaim the word of God using every means of communication. Radio, television, and the internet have become indispensable tools for brining the Gospel message to the modern world. The next Hospitality Mass will be on Saturday, December 11th. Come to 8:15 a.m. Mass and stay afterward for ‘coffee and’ with friends, old and new. In 2009, the Diocese of Joliet collaborated with the Diocese of Rockford and Archdiocese of Chicago on an evangelization initiative using television advertisements on 10 networks in 3 languages for 5 ½ weeks. Catholics who had drifted from the practice of the faith were invited to rediscover their roots and to come home. Surveys of parishes from across the three dioceses showed an increase in Mass attendance, greater participation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and a renewed sense of Catholic identity among active parishioners and parish staff. ***** We have not scheduled any other activities in December so that S.A.M. will not conflict with any Parish, spiritual or social gatherings you may wish to attend during the busy Advent and Christmas Seasons. Mark your calendar now for January 28th – our next Social Evening. This year, new ads will be shown on TV from midDecember to mid-January. Once again, they will provide the opportunity for faith conversations and moments of evangelization in homes, schools, neighborhoods, and places of business. To find out more about this evangelization effort, to preview the new “Home” ad, and to discover how you might participate, please go to the diocesan website www.CatholicsComeHomeJoliet.org. Above all, please continue to pray that all baptized Catholics will experience an ever deeper commitment to Christ this Advent! Our Friends at Abbington ..

St. Vincent DePaul Society St. Walter’s St. Vincent DePaul Society has completed it financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The 18 active members of the Society provided almost $43,000 in direct financial assistance to 248 people, and an additional 96 people were provided emergency food from the Parish food pantry. Less than 1% of our expenses were for office supplies and regional/national/ international dues, allowing efficient and immediate aid to those within our Parish boundaries facing extreme hardships. Our funds were provided directly from the Parish (42%) and fundraising (12%), with the remaining 46% received in the form of assistance matches from the operations of the 6 SVdP resale stores operated throughout the Joliet Diocese. These stores are in turn partially supplied through the semi-annual clothing drives conducted at St. Walter, as well as home pick-up of gently used furniture and household goods. Our Parish family also donated several vehicles this year, which are given to the working poor in order for them to reach their jobs. We would like to thank Fr. Jim and Parish staff for generously supporting our efforts in the community, the Knights of Columbus for their Reverse Collections, the Giving Tree Committee and the Italian American Charitable Organization for remembering our families in the Holiday seasons, the Harvest Sunday and SWS Student Council for their food drives, and all of our Benefactors for assistance in meeting our mission to bring Christ’s love to those in need.
