Reconciliation - Looking for a New Direction for Your Life? Or if not a new direction, some encouragement for life as you now know it! For the Church Advent begins a new year of faith. It’s a good time for looking back on your relationship with God and all the people in your life. It a time for looking forward with hope. For many the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a good way to do this. If you’d like to renew your experience of this sacrament, Father Mike is available for conversation and confession any time by appointment or on the following days and times if you’d find that more convenient:

Thursday, December 20th, 1:30 pm Saturdays, December 15th & 22nd, 2:30 pm

7:15

I n T h e M o r n i n g

Monday Morning Mass Time Change Every Monday morning when school is in session our parish Mass takes place in the chapel at Trinity Catholic High School on Redman Road. Father Jeff Putthoff, SJ, Trinity’s new President, and the faculty have expressed to Father Mike their desire to be able to attend this Mass. In order for this to be possible they’ve requested our consideration of a change in the Mass time which is supported by those who regularly attend. Therefore, beginning Monday, January 7th, the Mass time at Trinity will change from 7:30 am to 7:15 am.

And again remember, when school is in session our parish Mass on Mondays is at the high school, and when school is NOT in session our parish Mass on Mondays is at our parish church at 8:00 am. Best advice: Always check the published weekly bulletin schedule.

If you have any questions about this, please contact your

financial advisor or speak with Father Mike at your

convenience.

Sustaining Our Catholic Mission and Ministries For many years the work of our Church and our parish has benefited from the planned giving and estate gifts we’ve received from our parishioners. This time of year it’s good for us to remember that an IRA Charitable Rollover - giving opportunity signed permanently into law in 2015 - gives taxpayers the opportunity to make charitable gifts from their IRAs.

Who is eligible and how does it work? At the age of 70.5 or older, those with traditional IRAs must begin taking required minimum distributions from their IRAs whether or not they want them. These distributions are taxed as ordinary income and increase the recipient’s adjusted gross income. The IRA Charitable Rollover allows individuals who do not need such distributions to gift all or a portion directly to charity (up to $100,000 annually). What are the benefits? There’s the advantage of avoiding increased income taxes and the opportunity to make a impact on the Catholic parish, school or ministry they love.

How do I use this to support my parish or favorite Catholic organization? You can submit a distribution request to your IRA custodian at any time, asking that the money be transferred directly to Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church. Your gift will help to support the cost of operating our parish and our viability for the future or can be restricted for an important parish need or ministry.

Thank You from Your St. Vincent de Paul Society We want to thank everyone who has been so generous over the Thanksgiving holiday. As always, your kindness is appreciated, both by our members and the neighbors we serve. We would also like to express a special thank you to the Holy Name of Jesus Ladies Guild. Over the years, this group was extremely generous to our Conference. When they decided it was time to disband, their last act of generosity was to donate the balance in their treasury to our St. Vincent de Paul Society. We are constantly amazed at the kindness of our parish family, and the group of very generous members of the Ladies Guild will always be remembered. We wish everyone a blessed holiday season!

We will be decorating church for the Christmas season on December 23rd, immediately after 10:30 Mass. All volunteers are welcome and greatly appreciated!!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Years ago, the trick question on religion quizzes would be to name all the liturgical colors, or the colors of the vestments worn at Mass. Rose is a color seldom seen, used at most two days a year. Today, “Gaudete Sunday,” is one of those days. The name of the day is drawn from an opening verse in the old Latin Mass texts: Gaudete is Latin for “Rejoice!” This year’s Gospel certainly reflects that mood as Elizabeth feels her infant within her leaping for joy at the presence of Mary. Mary’s visit to her aged cousin is an act of compassion between women, as two kinswomen who are bearing children into the world share their joy. Some churches retain the custom of having the priest wear rose vestments today, and many will use a rose candle in the Advent wreath. Violet is the official color for Advent and Lent, but many parishes employ different hues for each season, trying to keep them distinct. In medieval times, dye was costly, and poor parishes used unornamented plain cloth for vestments. Dyes were expensive and some colors, particularly purple, difficult to achieve. In England, purple dye was made from mollusks, yielding at best a deep indigo or blue and not the desired violet. Thus, the color of Advent in the British Isles has long been a deep blue, reminding many people of Mary’s presence at the heart of the Advent mystery. That theology is largely unplanned: it’s all because of the clams! —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

REJOICE! Today has traditionally been called “Gaudete Sunday.” The Latin tag is derived from Paul’s appeal in the second reading to “rejoice always in the Lord,” and the Latin Mass text based on that reading. The irony and paradox of this Christian joy is underlined by the fact that Paul wrote those words in prison. But from there he could see the progress of God’s work. Is it obvious to us? We feel that this is not the time for joy when there is so much suffering and moral evil. It is interesting, then, that the first reading is from the prophet Zephaniah, who is almost exclusively concerned with gloomy visions of Judg-ment Day. Today the Church selects the only optimistic text in Zephaniah, in which the prophet has been touched by the spirit of joy. This, we are assured on all sides, is “the season of joy.” Let us recapture that feeling of joy in our lives and reflect it to those who are joyless. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
