Sunday, December 24, 2017 - Fourth Sunday of Advent
Merry Christmas everyone! From all of us here at Our Lady of Victory Rectory – Father Romulus, Father Sam, Deacon Michael, the entire parish staff, and myself – may the best blessing of God be with you and with your loved ones as we celebrate Christmas.
Church decorating will begin Saturday, December 23, at 6:30 p.m. Volunteers may come to the Basilica to help with these decorations at that time. Youngsters, younger than 15 years old, who would like to help, should be accompanied by an adult. My thanks to all who help with this. Our Basilica always looks spectacular for Christmas.
This weekend, we conclude our Advent celebration by observing the Fourth Sunday of Advent at the morning Masses (8, 10, 12 Noon). The Masses celebrated later in the day, (4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and Midnight) are, of course, for Christmas – along with the Christmas Day Masses (8, 10, 12 Noon). Because Sunday and Christmas Day come so close to one another, this year we are asked to attend twice for the weekend – once for Sunday and once for Christmas. (There is no one Mass that counts for both celebrations).
There is a special supplement to our parish bulletin for the Christmas season, called “Celebrating Christmas At Home.” It has prayers and spiritual activities for families for the Christmas season. Check it out.
Next Sunday, December 31, the church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Family. You and all your family will be remembered in my prayers and Masses that weekend.
Because New Year’s Day falls on Monday this year, there is no obligation to attend Mass on that day. (This might make up for the double obligation the weekend before).
Here’s a blessing for your Christmas Crib. Pray it with your family as you celebrate the birth of our Savior:
How much you love us, Gentle God! We see in this Christmas Crib that you sent your precious Son, Jesus, to become one of us, born as a Baby and laid in a lowly manger in Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph were welcomed to the stable by the little lambs and cows who breathed warmth on them in the cool night. Shepherds bowed in awe before them at the wonder of Jesus’ birth. May the star of Bethlehem now stand guard over our home with light and peace and give hope to people everywhere. Amen.
May Jesus, our new-born Savior bless you and may Our Lady of Victory watch over you.
Father Paul

Sacrament of Baptism: Our Parish offers a special Pre-Baptism preparation program for parents who desire to share their faith with their children. Parents-to-be must attend this class prior to the birth of their child. Baptisms are usually scheduled two times each month. Call the Rectory to register for classes. Godparents must be Confirmed and practicing Catholics. Non-parishioners are required to have a Letter of Recommendation to serve as a sponsor.
Sacrament of Marriage:
To be married in the Basilica, you must be an active parishioner for at least 9 months prior to setting a date. Engaged couples should contact the pastor before making other wedding arrangements. Couples are required to attend a Pre-Cana Conference, or equivalent pre-marriage preparation program.
Letters of Recommendation:
Recommendations to act as sponsors for Baptism or Confirmation can be issued only to registered members of Our Lady of Victory Parish who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation, attend Mass and receive Holy Communion regularly, have their children attending a Catholic school or Religious Education class. If married, the marriage must be in conformity with the regulations of the Catholic Church.
Devotions:
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament begins immediately after the 12:10 p.m. Mass in the Basilica on Fridays and concludes with Benediction at 5:00 p.m.
First Friday:
On the eve of the First Friday of each month there are confessions from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Mass is celebrated at 7:30 p.m. on First Friday.
Care of the Sick:
Please notify the rectory office for a visit to any family member who is sick, in the hospital or confined to home. Regular home Communion visits are usually on the First Friday of the month by a priest, deacon, or minister of the Eucharist.
Tours:
To schedule a tour of Our Lady of Victory Basilica, please contact Dianne Bosinski, Tours & Basilica Programs by email at [email protected] or by phone at (716) 828-9424.
Summary of the Readings Fourth Sunday of Advent
The lengthy passage from Samuel is a wonderful exposition of God’s promise to the house of David: that his throne would forever be gloriously occupied by his descendants. Hidden in the mystery of the prophecy is the promise of the Savior, the Messiah, Son of God and Son of David. The prophet Nathan, speaking in God’s name, poetically turns around David’s plan to build a house for God, and announces God’s plan to build a “house,” that is, a dynasty for David. From this house of David will come the Messiah, the Christ, not in kingly splendor as David ruled, but as a humble man, destined to rule forever and over all. When God gives a gift, it’s amazing what we are given—so different from what we ever could have imagined. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

The Traveling Chalice
Would you like to host the “Traveling Chalice” in your home to promote vocations to the priesthood and religious life?
Father Sam invites families with school-aged (including college-aged) children still living at home, to bring his personal chalice home for a week to help promote vocations through brief prayer each evening with your family.
The week begins with the presentation of the chalice at the end of a Saturday evening or Sunday Mass, and may be concluded with Father Sam celebrating a Mass in your home on the following Friday evening. Please contact Father Sam at the rectory at 716-828-9428 or [email protected] for more information or to sign –up.
