St. Patrick Roman Catholic Parish A Pennsylvania Charitable Trust SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT DECEMBER 6, 2015 MASS SCHEDULE Weekend Weekday - Saturday: 5:00 pm (Vigil) - Sunday: 7:30 and 10:30 am, 12:15 pm & 4:00 pm - Monday thru Friday: 7:00 am - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday : 8:30 am - Wednesday: 9:00 am - Saturday: 7:30 am RECONCILIATION Saturday: 11:30 am to 12:30 pm and by request EUCHARISTIC ADORATION First Tuesday of each month Exposition at 12 noon & Benediction at 6:30 pm COMMUNION CALLS Any homebound member or shut-in may receive Holy Communion in their home. A Eucharistic Minister, Deacon or Priest will visit. MARRIAGE PREPARATION It is necessary to contact a priest 6 months before the Date of marriage. Pre-marriage preparation is also required for the Sacrament of Marriage. PUT ON JOY Today, Baruch speaks of the splendor that lies ahead for the city of Jerusalem and for all of us, regardless of where home is for us. Throw off strife, he tells us, and put on joy. Like a favorite old sweatshirt, joy fits, and how warm it keeps us, even when the winds blow cold. Paul knows of this joy as he pens his letter to the Philippians, praying that they may grow in their ability to discern what is righteous and good. And Luke speaks to us of John, who was foretold by Isaiah and who sings a similar song— “Prepare the way of the Lord,” for salvation is at hand. A man ahead of his time, Baruch spent his days joyfully awaiting a distant glory. On this Second Sunday of Advent, Paul and John know that this glory is upon us. Copyright © J. S.

Confession is a wonderful opportunity to set aside our sinful ways and to draw closer to our Lord. Confession will be available on Wednesday, December 9 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in every Catholic parish in the Diocese. Plan now to set some time aside and come receive God’s grace and healing. If you cannot attend “The Light Is Still On For You!”, plan to attend St. Patrick’s Parish Reconciliation Service the following Wednesday evening, December 16 at 7:00 pm in the church. CHRISTMAS TREE MEMORIALS While we traditionally take donations for Christmas flowers, this year we are also again giving you the opportunity to remember your deceased loved ones with a donation towards a Christmas Tree that will be placed in our Sanctuary and noted in our bulletin. If you are interested, please call the parish rectory at 724.745.6560 by December 14, 2015. ANGEL TREE St. Patrick Parish will be participating in the Angel Tree this Christmas season. Please take an Angel from the tree in church. Purchase the suggested item and bring the gift back to church UNWRAPPED and with the Angel on it to identify the person receiving it. The gifts have to be in church by the date indicated on the tag. If you have any questions, please call Carol at the Faith Formation Office at 724-745-3787. Thank you for your cooperation and generosity. WELCOME TO ST. PATRICK PARISH Welcome to St. Patrick Parish! Do you want to join our parish family?

YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS * Senior High Youth Group meets on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 5- 6:30 pm . * Middle School Ministry (grades 7-8) meets on the 2nd Sunday of the month from 5-6:30 pm. Luminaries! Thursday, December 24, 2:00 pm Meet in the parking lot to make, place and light the luminaries. “Legos” building blocks are all the rage. They appeal to everybody– kids and adults—because at the heart we are all builders. A key understanding of “On Mission to The Church Alive!” is our responsibility in building the kingdom of God. That sounds like a scary proposition, much too big for us. But it is simple. St. Theresa of Lisieux explained: “ A word, a kindly smile, will often suffice to gladden a wounded and sorrowful heart.” That’s how we can build up the kingdom of God—one small act of kindness at a time! To read more, check out “On Mission for The Church Alive1” on page 5 of this week’s Pittsburgh Catholic and visit www.OnMissionChurchAlive.org. Looking ahead ….
