The Reason for the Season

As Advent begins, reflect upon how ready you are for Jesus’

coming. Are you preparing for it with the same fervor that

you prepare for Christmas through shopping, cooking,

decorating, etc? Are you looking forward to that day when

He will return? Are you preparing for the spiritual

celebration of His birth? Are you awake and attentive to the

numerous ways that God speaks to you on a daily basis?

If you find that you are not as prepared for His return in

glory as you’d like to be, make this Advent a time when you

get your heart ready. Commit to prayer, spiritual exercises,

reflection and attentiveness to His gentle and glorious voice.

Jesus asks us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless. Holy Spirit Faith Formation students grades 1-8 are collecting items for St. Anthony Parish in Neopit. The community is suffering

severely from lack of employment and have difficulty affording Christmas gifts. We are asking all of our FF students to bring at least two items from the wish list (emailed and given to students at class on November 6, as well as on our parish website). We are collecting new, NON-FOOD items for adults, elders, children, and teens—such as toys from toddler to teen, cold weather clothing, accessories (no jewelry), art items, games, sports items, and blankets. Sleds and balls are the most popular items.

We will collect items through Wednesday, December 18. The youth of our parish will then be invited to take a bus to Neopit to help the Youth Ministry staff deliver the items personally. If your middle or high school student is interested in helping deliver on Friday evening, December 20, please contact Sarah Elmer, YM, at 450-6440.
