Third Sunday Of Advent

Rejoice in our God,

the God of hope

and light.

The world literally grows darker each day this time of the year. But as dark as the world grows, the darkness will not overcome the light. Jesus is the Light of the world. He illumines our darkness with His love and truth. We are able to sit in the darkness with confidence that the Lord is with us.

PPolicies of Maternity B.V.M. Church The Cold and Flu Season is upon us!

If your are feeling under the weather, then do not feel compelled to shake hands at the Sign of Peace. A friendly smile and gesture will suffice. We should all be aware that cold and flu germs are easily spread. We should also be more mindful of not exposing a prevent-able illness to our fellow parishioners, from the young-est to the oldest and especially to those who are immune compromised.

Severe Weather Conditions Severe, snowy weather on weekends will affect

our Mass schedule. If this occurs, Masses will not be cancelled in the Upper Church,

but may be moved to the Lower Chapel. Also, with the exception of attending Church

or meetings, please: no parking in any Church lots at any time, especially during the winter.

It is a liability and seriously impedes effective snow removal. Thank you!
