My Dear Parishioners,

I am writing this column on the morning

after our annual Advent Gift Giving Mass.

The feeling of joy and appreciation for all of

you is still in my heart. Despite heavy rain

pouring down, several families from our

parish came with their arms full of

beautifully wrapped presents last night.

Many of you who could not attend dropped

off presents in the last row of the church, during the day. At

least four new bicycles were among the gifts!

You know, very often

when we give to charity,

we just trust that our gift

will get directly into the

hands of the truly needy.

After talking to Fr. Gus

Puleo, the pastor of St.

Patrick's, we should all

feel content in knowing

that he will personally

make sure that our generosity will be extended to the poorest of

the poor in his Hispanic Catholic community. Fr. Puleo said,

"I only wish you could see the faces of the children who,

because of our gifts, will now enjoy a joyful Christmas." As Fr.

Puleo and I remarked together: "This is the Catholic Church at

its best."

As we enter the Second week of Advent and we all get

serious about placing on our calendar what parties, shopping,

school plays we will attend, may I urge you to also mark down

when you will go to confession. If I dare to speak for Jesus, if

you want to know what Jesus wants from you for His birthday,

it is your heart opened up to Him in a good confession. Next

week, I will publish our usual Examination of Conscience,

which always helps us to take that inner look into our heart. On

page 6 of today's bulletin, is a list of all the confession times

throughout the various parishes of our area. Make an

appointment, it may be the best celebration you will attend this

holiday season.

Finally, I want to announce that I recently received a letter

from the Chairman of the Board and the President of St. Mary

Medical Center, re-appointing me as a member of the Board

of Directors of the hospital, as of January 17, 2017. I had

previously served nine years on the board, and then according

to bylaws, I was required to go off of the board for two years.

With this re-appointment I recommit myself to help insure that

St. Mary Medical Center, as its mission statement declares,

"continues the healing ministry of Jesus Christ."

May God Bless You,

St. Bede 103 December 4, 2016

Scripture Readings

Third Sunday of Advent December 11, 2016 Isaiah 35: 1-6a, 10

Psalm 146

James 5: 7-10

Matthew 11: 2-11 Our readings are filled with signs. Isaiah speaks of the

signs of God’s reign to come, and in the Gospel we hear

Jesus compare His deeds with the well-known signs of the

Messianic Kingdom, the time when the Messiah would

appear. John the Baptist would know those signs and

recognize Jesus as indeed the one who is to come. Saint Paul

speaks of the signs that farmers await for the growth of their

plantings. By what signs to we know that God is present in

our world today?

During the month of December, our

school’s theme is the virtue of patience. We

have all heard of the common saying that

“patience is a virtue” while it tends to be one

of the most challenging virtues. During this

season of Advent, we challenge our students

to practice this important virtue. We are

called to prepare our hearts and souls for the

coming of Christ. We can so easily be distracted by holiday

festivities and preparations that we fail to wait with patience

and joy.

As we pray about the coming of Christ, let us hear and re-

spond to the Church’s call to stand apart from all the Christmas

festivities so that we might remain alert—patiently, prayerfully

watching and waiting for his coming. May God bless you and

your family during this holy season!

Hello Everyone! Seeing so many of our young adults who were home from College the last two weeks brought to mind an article I read recently that cited a study which showed that there are three factors which play a major part in young people staying a part of the Church/ their Faith. The writer, Fr. Matthew P. Schneider, LC writes: If a teen experiences

Jesus in their friends (weekly group), in prayer and the Eucharist, and in adults they can talk to; then, they’ll commit to the Church.

Of course we all know that parents are the MOST important and most influential persons in a child’s life. These three factors actually support what is lived out at home. My role and actually the role of the entire parish (yes, we are all Youth Ministers to the youth of the parish) is to reinforce the Catholic values that are taught in the home. These three factors are offered to our youth constantly at St. Bede. I’ll use Father Schneider words with my added emphasis afterwards

First, we have the group or the community where they come together on a regular basis to learn their faith. Second, we have the prayer and ser-vice which really brings teens out of themselves to have those experi-ences. Third, we have the intergenerational aspect ….which really inte-grates the youth ministry into the entire ministry of the church These factors are evident here at St. Bede in 1) the coming together of youth at CCD or for those in High School, the Triple T gatherings. 2) the many Liturgical, para-liturgical and prayer gatherings including Sunday Mass, 40 Hours, Missions, Family Adoration nights, and retreats like Kairos and Steu-benville youth conferences. 3) the number of teens involved in the life of the parish: like those who serve on the Teen Council, in the Teen Choir, as Asst. Coaches or refs in CYO, as Asst. Catechists in the CCD classrooms, those in other ministries and who we see in all aspects of parish life. As you can see, our youth have many opportunities for these three factors to draw them into a deeper commitment to the Church and their Faith. It is not just one factor but

rather a collaboration of all three along with our prayers for our children (Like St. Monica, who prayed many, many years for her son Augustine) that will surely lead our youth to eternity with our Heavenly Father. Here is the link to the article, Please take a moment to read it and let me know your thoughts. Please continue to remember us in your prayers. God Bless! http://projectym.com/3-things-that-almost-guarantee-teens-stay-catholic/ To get information about the Youth Ministry programs and events, visit our website st-bede.org/youthministry or call the Youth Ministry office at 215-357-5113.
