Christ's peace is present in our own

hearths. As you make your final preparations for your

family's Christmas celebrations, take a moment and

stop in the night quiet of your own "barn," and give

thanks for the many ways God makes himself known

there; embrace and be embraced in his love that heals

your brokenness and restores your hope; and make

room for him at your table in every season of the new

year.

A Family Perspective from the Family Life Education Office

QUESTION: What do you call a family which began with an

unmarried pregnant teen and had a twelve year old son who ran

away from home and was eventually executed as a criminal?

ANSWER: HOLY! Two lessons in today’s gospel:

(1) No matter what is happening in your family, “The Lord is with

you.” (2) “Do not be afraid” for “nothing is impossible with God.

CHRISTMAS BBBBASKETS WWWWe will be packing the baskets today,

Sunday, December 21st after the 10:00 Mass.

If anyone is able to help with packing or distribution, we

could certainly use the help. If you have any questions,

please call Mary Jane Gruver, 942-3099

(MJMGruver@gmail.com). Thank you very much for your

continuous generosity! This parish has truly brightened

Christmas for so many families!

This Christmas Day, St. Joseph’s Parish

is going to gift every family with a copy

of the book “THE FOUR SIGNS OF A

DYNAMIC CATHOLIC” when they

leave Mass. This book has been shared

with hundreds of thousands of Catholics

nationwide already. Here are a few things people had to say

after reading this book:

• David from Denver said, “This book brought my son back to the Church!”

• Lindsey from Cincinnati shared, “I have been away from the Church for twenty years, but last Christmas some-thing drew me to go. On the way out of Mass everyone was handed a copy of this book and for some reason I read it. I came back to the Church because of the book.”

• Finally, Jessica in Philadelphia said, “This is the first time the Church ever gave me something tangible. I know it sounds crazy, because the Church does so much for

people…but this is tangible, in my hands, and it really made me stop and think”.

St. Joseph’s has a gift for you !
