CONFESSIONS: Saturday at 4:00 to 5:00 pm and upon request.
BAPTISM: First and third Sundays at 1:00 pm. Parents may contact the Rectory to arrange for the baptism.
MATRIMONY: Since Catholic marriage requires a time of preparation, arrange-ments should begin at least six months before the proposed date of the wedding to allow for the Marriage Preparation Program. Contact the Rectory to begin the process.
PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK: If you are planning to enter the hospital for surgery, experiencing a prolonged or serious illness, or homebound due to advancement of age, call the Rectory to arrange for the sacraments of reconciliation, communion and anointing at home. When you go to a hospital be sure to tell the admitting office that you are a Catholic patient and a member of St. Gregory Barbarigo parish.
PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL: Open all day and night for Eucharistic adoration and located at the south end of the campus on Cinder Road next to the Rectory. Parishioners and friends are encouraged to become adorers or to stop in and spend some time in quiet prayer with the Lord. If interested in learning more please call or email: Bobby or Jessica Zottoli at 845-429-0320 or [email protected].
SPONSOR CERTIFICATES for Baptism and Confirmation are available to active parishioners, please call the rectory three weeks in advance.
MISSION STATEMENT: St. Gregory Barbarigo parish is a Christian community of disciples in the Roman Catholic faith, called by Jesus, united in Eucharistic worship, devoted to the Blessed Mother, and growing in faith, hope and love. Nourished through the sacraments and strengthened by God’s transforming love, we are empowered to know the gospel message and to witness it to others. As Christian stewards, we are thankful for God’s many gifts and we commit ourselves to share our time, talent and treasure in Christ-like service. We seek God’s blessing and guidance to be faithful to this mission.

STEWARDSHIP IS A WAY OF LIFE
~ GOD'S PLAN FOR GIVING ~ For the Lord’s generosity, we returned to His Church
Due to Early Bulletin Submission due to Thanksgiving Holiday, Collection Totals are not available. Will be in next weeks bulletin.
Today is the first day of Advent - which is also the start of the church’s liturgical calendar. The litur-gical calendar helps us to follow the life of Christ throughout the year and experienced by the lit-urgy. Advent is the season we prepare for the
great Solemnity of Christmas, it is a season of preparation, simi-lar to Lent, but less penitential. Now granted, in the stores we have already seen Christmas decorations for some months, but for us Advent is distinct from Christmas. Also - in the retail world - the day after Christmas is the end of Christmas but for us is the start of the Christmas season, which culminates with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Furthermore, Advent is a sea-son we will experience mostly at Church - although some fami-lies might use an Advent Wreath. Part of our challenge is - how to keep the balance between the demands of the secular Christ-mas season - and the preparation for the coming Christ Child. Well - hopefully that is expressed by our participation at Sunday Mass, being consistent in prayer and charity and also to do a bit of spiritual reading in this holy season.
The Cafeteria/Community Room is moving along - the first row of block has been laid, and hopefully we will have good weather so work can carry on at a good pace. Work on the kitchen and bathrooms is also on schedule. It is great to think - in time, when this terrible pandemic has been defeated - we will be able to celebrate in the new space.
Yours in Christ,
Father Fallon
CHRISTMAS ANGEL PROJECT - have provided gifts for needy families through Catholic Community Charities located in Haverstraw for years. How-ever, as we all know, things are different now. To protect the families we help, as well as parish-
ioners, we will not be collecting gifts this year. Instead, we are asking for donations of gift cards. For example, Kohl’s, Target, Walmart, Old Navy etc. They’ll be distributed to needy parents to use for gifts for their children. Gift cards are appreciated in any denomination of $25 or less. The Angel tag will be on the Giving Tree which you can put the gift card in a Christmas card with the tag and drop off at church in a designated area.
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION Is celebrated on Tuesday, December 8. Masses will be offered here on Monday evening, December at 5:30 PM and on Tuesday, December 8 at 9:00 AM and 12:10 PM.
Attention Altar Servers and Parents— An email was sent out last week asking to please respond to Deirdre if you are inter-ested in having your son or daughter re-turn to altar serving. Service will be re-
duced - essentially carrying in the candles and cross, ringing the bells, then processing out at the end. Servers will sit in the chairs in the area where the lector sits. Please contact Deirdre at the Rectory either by email: [email protected] or call (845) 947-1873.
We need your help to decorate the church for Christmas. If you can assist. Please let us know by calling the Rectory 947-1873 or email [email protected]. Decorating
will take place Tuesday, December 22 at 11 AM. Please meet in the church.
FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION - Will be on Friday, December 4, from 8:00am-8:00pm. If you would like to do an hour you can sign up on the parish website: www.stgregorybarbarigo.org. There are 3
time slots per hour for sign up. There is a limit of 5 people in the Chapel at one time.
PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH - Appeal will be next Sun-day, December 6. Each year the Society for the Propaga-tion of the Faith sponsors the Missionary Cooperative Appeal for the important work done in spreading the Gos-pel to other parts of the world. We usually have a speaker, however with the current pandemic no speaker will be heard, there will just be a second collection for this great cause.
