First Sunday of Advent

“Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.” (Psalm 122)

Retirement Fund for Religious Collection Next Weekend In the United States today, there are more than 33,000 sen-

ior Catholic religious sisters, brothers, and order priests. These reli-

gious worked tirelessly in Catholic schools, hospitals, and agencies,

usually for little or no pay. As a result, many religious communities

lack adequate savings for retirement and eldercare. For more infor-

mation please read the insert in today’s church paper or visit

www.retiredreligious.org.

Next weekend a special collection will be taken up in all

Catholic parishes of our country allowing us the opportunity to support the Retire-

ment Fund for Religious which helps provide prescription medications, nursing care,

and more. Envelopes for this collection may be found in the pew racks of the church

and can be returned next weekend with your contribution. Please give to those who

made a positive difference in so many lives. Thank you for your continued support

and prayers for our senior Catholic religious sisters, brothers, and order priests.

Sorting and Packing Toys On Monday, December 2nd, we will be sorting and packing toys for

St. Leo’s Christmas Party. Please join us at 10:00 am in the Social

Area to work on this fun project. All are welcome!!

Toys Needed-Due This Weekend St. Leo’s Soup Kitchen in Detroit is again looking for toys for the Children’s

Christmas Party they host at the beginning of December. These toys do not have a

tag on the Giving Tree in the Gathering Space. Toys for all ages are needed and are

to be returned to the Gathering Space by December 1st. These gifts are to be un-

wrapped. Thank you for all you do to help those in need!

Advent Giving Tree-Last Weekend for Tags Advent is HERE! Our Advent Giving Tree will be

helping those in need. We will be helping St. Al’s, Capuchin

After School Program, Loaves and Fishes, Our Lady of Guada-

lupe Parish, The Lennon Center, the Toy Drive for St. Leo’s,

Sister Judie’s Outreach, Jail Ministry, and gift certificates to

help with last minute requests. This is the final weekend for

Giving Tree Tags to be available (November 30th/December 1st). If you have any

questions, please call the Christian Service Office at 734-464-4436.

“Coletta Scope”- St. Colette Church, Livonia

Christmas Offering Please consider making a

significant offering to St. Colette

Parish at Christmas via the Christ-

mas collection. It is the one col-

lection the entire dollar amount

remains directly here at the parish.

The rest of the donations the parish

receives throughout the year are

subject to a 7% assessment by the Archdiocese of Detroit.

The money collected by the assessment as well as the an-

nual Catholic Services Appeal assist the Archdiocese with

their diocesan-wide ministries, programs and offices.

However, all the funds collected in the Christmas collec-

tion remain here in the parish and are not assessed.

Given the rising costs of maintaining a parish

plant and all our services, every additional dollar is truly

appreciated. Thank you for your generous support and

consideration.

Christmas Wafers Christmas wafers (oplatki)

are now available at the parish of-

fice during our regular office hours:

Monday – Thursday, 9:00 am – 12

Noon, 1:00 – 5:00 pm and on Fri-

day, 9:00 am – 12 Noon, 1:00 – 3:00 pm. There are

three wafers per package and the suggested donation is

$1.00 per package.

Advent/Christmas Reflection

Books and CD’s A popular way to keep the Seasons

of Advent and Christmas is by using the

blue covered Reflection Books offered by our parish.

These books offer daily reflections for the Season of

Advent and upcoming Season of Christmas.

New this year are copies of the CD “Ignite Your

Journey” which contains music and reflections for Ad-

vent and Christmas. These CDs are made available to us

free of charge thanks to the generosity of the Dr. Thom-

as Dooley Knights of Columbus.

Copies of the Reflection Books and “Ignite Your

Journey” CDs were available last weekend in the Gath-

ering Space of the church and on the window sill to the

right of the altar. Copies of both may still be available.

Please limit one reflection book and CD per family.

Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick

Sunday, December 1st

In Church After the 12 Noon Mass The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is in-

tended for anyone seven years and older who is chronically

ill, undergoing medical testing or surgery, disabled by dis-

ease, age or addiction, or is affected by psychological or

emotional problems. As the title states, this is a sacrament

for the sick and not the dying!

If you are in need of celebrating the Sacrament of

the Anointing of the Sick, please join others this Sunday,

December 1st after the 12 Noon Mass at approximately

1:15 pm. To receive the sacrament please be seated in one

of the front pews of the church. The celebration of the sac-

rament will begin once everyone is assembled and depend-

ing on the number being anointed the ritual should take

approximately 20 – 30 minutes.

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is cel-

ebrated in our church every month (usually the first Sun-

day). Contact the parish office to make arrangements for

the celebration of this sacrament at other times.

Adopt a Seminarian with Your Prayers Our parish provides small prayer cards which include a photo of an Archdiocese of Detroit

seminarian on one side and a vocation prayer on the opposite side. These cards are new and represent

the seminarians who are in formation for the current academic year of 2019 – 2020. If you participat-

ed in this program in previous years those old cards may be obsolete so everyone is invited to receive

a new one.

The prayer cards are available in the Gathering Space of the church on the vocations table and

on the counter top near one of the bulletin boards as well as on the window sill to the right of the altar. Please receive

one (or more) of the cards and “adopt” that seminarian with your prayers.


Pastor’s Corner Today the universal Church begins a new liturgical year with the Season of Advent. From the First Sunday of

Advent until December 16th, the emphasis of Advent is to direct our minds and hearts to await Christ’s Second Coming

at the end of time. From December 17th and afterwards Advent is a time to prepare us for Christmas when Christ’s first

coming to us is remembered.

Of all the seasons of the Church’s liturgical year, Advent is by far the most difficult to observe. We know it is

to be a time of preparation for the Lord’s coming, yet all around us our contemporary culture is already celebrating

Christmas with the singing of Christmas carols, attending parties and decorating houses and places of business. Instead

of preparing for Christmas and then celebrating it, today many people both prepare and celebrate at the same time! We

get so caught up with the commercial elements of the holiday season we forget the deeper religious significance.

Like the increasing darkness of each day in late November and early December our churches during Advent are

void of any extra decorations. The “Glory to God” at weekend Masses is omitted during Advent so we may look for-

ward to the glory that is to come. Our only seasonal decoration in church is the Advent Wreath with it candles and ev-

ergreen branches reminding us of the approaching glory of God’s redemption and Kingdom. In our personal lives we

are challenged to pray more, take time to read Scripture, perhaps celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation by going to

confession, and to participate in works of Christian charity.

The Season of Advent is a popular time for Catholics to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation by the con-

fession of our sins and receiving absolution. Once again the Catholic parishes of Livonia are sponsoring two Advent

Communal Penance Services with Individual Confessions: Monday, December 16th at 7:00 pm here at St. Colette

Church and on Saturday, December 21st at 1:00 pm at St. Edith Church. If you need to celebrate the Sacrament of Rec-

onciliation before Christmas, please participate in one of these two services. For other opportunities to celebrate the

Sacrament of Reconciliation please refer the schedule printed in the Northwest Wayne Vicariate Newsletter and posted

on the vicariate website at nwwv.org.

This Advent I encourage you to use the Advent Reflection Books and the Advent Reflection CDs that were

made available last weekend (and may still be available this weekend). Please participate in the Advent Giving Tree

Project and perform other acts of Christian charity. Try not to decorate your home too early with Christmas decora-

tions. In years past many families didn’t start decorating their homes until after December 17th when our observance of

Advent concentrates on remembering Christ’s first coming at Christmas. Whatever you do, try to maintain the holiness

of the Season as we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord.

On December 8th the Catholic Church observes the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed

Virgin Mary. This observance is so important that it is recognized as a Holyday of Obligation for Catholics to celebrate

Mass. However, this year December 8th is on a Sunday and in the Church’s order for the liturgical year the observance

of the Second Sunday of Advent takes precedence over the observance of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.

Therefore, the observance of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is transferred to the next day, namely Mon-

day December 9th. When the observance is transferred, the obligation to celebrate Mass is not transferred. So please

note Catholics are not obligated to celebrate Mass on Monday, December 9th in observance of the Solemnity of the Im-

maculate Conception. Those desiring to do so are encouraged to celebrate the 9:00 am Mass on Monday, December

9th.

Have a blessed Advent,

Fr. Gary

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Monday, December 9th

Mass at 9:00 am

Since the observance is transferred from December 8th to December 9th,

Catholics are dispensed from the obligation to celebrate Mass.

If you will be participating at the 9:00 am Mass, please do not park your car at the medi-

cal professional building parking lot north of the church. Those parking spaces are needed for

patients who have doctors’ appointments in the morning of December 9th. Thank you.


Word on Fire Series -New Series Starting

THIS WEEK- ALL ABOUT ADVENT The Church season of Advent is about preparing

ourselves for the coming celebration of Christmas.

Lives get very busy preparing for and celebrating the

secular side of this holiday, but how about giving up ten

minutes a day to prepare your heart for the religious/

spiritual side of this historic event. Word on Fire has a

series that will help us prepare for and celebrate the sea-

son of Advent. Filled with all sorts of wonderful infor-

mation and inspiration, it will teach us about the history

of Advent and give us new ideas and traditions to try.

Starting on December 1st you will receive a short vid-

eo every day for ten days. Save them and watch them all

at once, or take a few moments out of each day to focus

on the coming of Christ, it’s up to you. Topics include:

What is Bambinelli Sunday? Why Purple and Pink?

What is Gaudette Sunday? Who is St. Nicholas? Give

yourself a pre-Christmas gift and participate in the won-

derful online series. We deliver!

If you are presently getting our Word on Fire

emails then all you need to do is sit back and wait for the

next series to arrive. If you are already on Flocknote

simply go into your account and select that you would

like to start receiving the WORD ON FIRE emails. If

you are not on Flocknote, contact Theresa Lisiecki at

734-464-4435 or at [email protected]. All that is needed

is your first and last name, email and if you would like to

receive messages on your phone, we will need your

phone number.

Calling all Children for Our

Annual Christmas Pageant Before family calendars get

filled up in these coming weeks, I

wanted to make sure that these im-

portant dates get your attention. The

Christmas Pageant is open to all children in Kindergar-

ten through 8th grade. (Older students are the readers)

We will have two practices: Wednesday December 18th

at 6:00 pm and Sunday, December 22nd at 1:00 pm

(immediately after the 12:00 noon Mass). Both rehears-

als will be in the Church and will last about one hour. If

your child wants a major role they must be there on

Wednesday, December 18th practice. If you can’t make

it December 18th please still come on the 22nd because

we can always use more angels and shepherds. This

pageant will be a part of our 4:00 pm Children’s Mass

on Christmas Eve, December 24th. For more infor-

mation please contact Theresa in the Religious Educa-

tion Office at 734-464-4435 or at [email protected].

WOMEN’S GUILD AND

WOMEN OF ST. COLETTE Our Guild is hosting a

bake sale December 14th and

15th after all Masses. We ask

the membership and women

of the Parish to help make this

a success with your baking

skills and donate homemade

goods to sell. All proceeds

will be donated to our charities. Drop off will be in the

Social Area Friday, December 13th 12:00 noon to 2:00

pm and Saturday, December

14th between 12:00 noon until

Mass at 4:00 pm. Please call

June at 734 464-0476 if you

would like to help or if you

have any questions.

Children’s Christmas Choir We are inviting all chil-

dren, fourth grade and older, to

participate in a special choir be-

ing formed to sing at St. Colette’s

Family Mass (4:00 pm) on

Christmas Eve. The rehearsal

schedule is designed to be as

convenient and accommodating

as possible. We will rehearse in

the Chapel (off of the Gathering Space of the Church) on

the Sundays of Advent from 11:15 – 11:45 am. If you

attend the 10:00 am Mass, plan on staying a little later on

those days. If you attend Mass at 12 noon, plan on arriv-

ing a little earlier. All parents and other interested adults

are invited to sit in on rehearsal.

This is a really fun opportunity with a low com-

mitment. Please, consider inviting your child or grand-

child to be a part of this. Who wouldn’t want to see and

hear their kids sing on Christmas Eve? Music reading

ability and previous choir experience are not at all neces-

sary.

The first rehearsal will be Sunday, December 1st

at 11:15 am. Any questions, find me around church or

shoot me an email at [email protected]. Hope to see

many of you there.

Give Life Thursday, December 19th As Christmas is fast

approaching and we get busy

with seasonal preparations, we

may put off things that we

wish we had time for. But

there is one thing that does not

take much time. It’s the time

to give blood. Recognizing that not everyone can donate

for valid reasons, only about 5% of the population has

ever donated while 100% may need blood some time in

their life. Still there are some who never seriously con-

sidered donating - “Someone else will do it”. Anyone age

17 and over may donate and age 16 may donate with pa-

rental consent. There is no upper age limit. If you are on

a medication that you think would make you ineligible,

call the number below and ask. We especially invite

those under age 50 who have never donated before.

Please consider it a gift to someone who might die with-

out it. There is no substitute for human blood.

We need 80 appointments in order to meet our

parish goal. As of this writing, we have only 38. Our

blood drive will be held on Thursday, December 19th

from 12:30 until 7:00 pm. Next weekend we will offer

appointment sign-ups in the gathering space. Appoint-

ments can also be made online at www.miblood.org or

by calling 1-866-MIBLOOD (1-866-642-5663).

GOSPEL MEDITATION -

ENCOURAGE DEEPER

UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

1st Sunday of Advent—December 1, 2019 “I’m never getting enough rest! How can I

possibly be ‘asleep’?” In a world of jam-packed

schedules and high anxiety levels, physical rest may

be hard to come by. Yet relentless pursuit of our to-

do lists and social calendars may keep our minds off

of the things that really matter. Jesus knows all too

well a pattern of busy, harried ignorance. “In those

days before the flood, they were eating and drinking,

marrying and giving in marriage … they did not

know until the flood came and carried them all away

… two men will be out in the field … two women will

be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one

will be left.” When it comes to the spiritual life, we

can be at work or at relaxation and still be spiritually

asleep.

Each year, we are called back to remember

the essential things. God comes to save His people.

He becomes flesh to dwell among us. Supernatural

light pierces the world’s darkness and our own. Ad-

vent wakes us up. “Stay awake! For you do not

know on which day your Lord will come.” Every Ad-

vent, we prepare to celebrate Christ’s first coming at

Christmas, and we anticipate his second coming at

the end of time.

“At an hour you do not expect, the Son of

Man will come.” There’s another hour, too, both

known and unknown. It’s the present moment.

Whether it’s a lazy Saturday morning or a major

business proposal, whether it’s attending a kinder-

garten play or an elderly relative’s bedside, at every

moment the Lord wants to enter into our hearts. This

Advent, let’s pray for the grace to stay alert. Christ

is coming soon. LPi

Parish Staff

To the Parish Family of St. Colette: It is our parish policy that all registered members of St. Colette Parish use their contribution envelopes each

week when they attend Mass, as we do need your financial support. If you are going through financial difficul-

ties, please put your empty envelope in the basket so we know you are practicing your faith as a parishioner at St. Co-

lette. If we do not receive envelopes in a calendar year, you will be contacted by the Parish Office to confirm if you are

still worshipping here.

Pray for the Sick of our Parish The names included in the Sick List should be parishioners, their relatives

and friends. If you would like to add a name, please contact the parish office. Every 4-6 months the prayer list will be updated.
