There is something beautiful about all the lights that we now see around us in the streets and shop windows. As they shine and sparkle, they are trying to catch our eye and get our attention. As homes, towns and cities are decorated, clothed in a way in a festive ‘robe,’ and as days get darker and trees lie barren, we are reminded of the words of the prophet Baruch which we hear in the first reading this weekend, ‘Jerusalem, take off your robe of mourning and misery; put on the splendor of glory from God forever.’ While this year the pandemic has taken a toll on each of us, the Advent message lifts us up to recognize the gift of divine joy as we try to rebuild to a ‘new

normal.’ The Jewish people had lost faith and hope in the promise of a messiah who would restore them to former days of glory. However, God had not forgotten them. He had other plans for them. Many of us have come to accept the fact that there is no going back to what was before, the pre-pandemic time. We now must move forward, toward healing and a ‘new beginning.’ It will be well for us to do everything we can to welcome the ‘dawn of light’ into our lives and avoid anything that impedes what God wants to accomplish through us. This weekend, we will have our tree-lighting ceremony before the 5pm Mass and next Sunday, December 12, I invite you to ‘Santa’s Drive-Thru for Share Christmas’ from 2 to 4pm. Like last year, I encourage you to bring an unwrapped gift of a toy, clothing, home goods or gift cards from Target, Walmart, Jewel or Amazon to Mass, or to our ‘Santa’s Drive-Thru for Share Christmas.’ Santa’s elves will be here to collect the gifts you bring. Afterwards, stop by for a cup of cocoa, games and pictures with Santa. In the past, through your generosity and the efforts of our St. Vincent de Paul Society, QASPA and WAX, we were able to collect nearly 500 gifts that brought joy and happiness to those in need. (Details are in this bulletin). Later that evening, we will once again take part in the ‘Worldwide Candle Lighting Service’ honoring the memory of any child who has died. As the holidays can be especially difficult for grieving families, being a part of this service at QAS can bring solace to parents and families who are mourning the loss of a child. On Saturday, December 18, along with the Filipino American Community Association (FACA) of Queen of All Saints we will celebrate Simbang Gabi for the 33rd year here at our parish. ‘Misa de Gallo,’ or Simbang Gabi, is a Filipino religious tradition dating back to the late 16th century that is celebrated during the season of Advent in preparation for the coming of Jesus on Christmas. Traditionally, this Mass is celebrated in the early morning hours, typically at 4am when the roosters crow to announce the coming of a new day. Hence, it is called Misa de Gallo (Gallo means ‘rooster’). Here in the Unites States, these Masses are celebrated in the evening to accommodate work schedules and make the celebration more accessible to families. Thus, the name is changed from Misa de Gallo to Simbang Gabi, which means ‘Night Mass.’ By now I’m sure you see that there are a lot of good things happening this month. With all these activities, do not pass up the opportunity to make your confessions. Confessions are heard on Saturday mornings following the 8am Mass and on Mondays, through December 20, from 7 to 8pm. Come and be part of our preparations for Christmas!! Blessings!!

Finding God in All Things & Letting God Find Us By: Karen Skalitzky

As we turn the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic, it can feel both exciting and unsettling. We have survived something of significance together. Join us for a morning (or evening) of reflection this Advent season. Together we’ll explore how every person and every experience has the capacity to reveal something of the divine and draw us closer to God. This is the way of Ignatian spirituality - that God is indwelling, in the young and old, the housed and the unhoused, the lonely and the loved. We’ll examine the movement of the sacred in our own lives, in everyday moments of joy and sorrow, fear and trust, anxiety and peace. The focus of our time together will be how we open our hearts to the divine and let the divine find us. Time for prayer and self-reflection will be provided. Karen Skalitzky is a speaker, writer, and spiritual director. A former educator, she has over twenty years of experience transforming underperforming schools into the kind of schools all children deserve. She believes we can find the sacred in everything and everyone, in any moment and any place. Her first book, A Recipe for Hope: Stories of Transformation by People Experiencing Homelessness, was featured on WGN-TV. Her essays have appeared in U.S. Catholic, Raise Magazine, and Brain, Child: The Magazine for Thinking Mothers.

Today’s Readings

“And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception, to discern what is of value...”

- Luke 21:28

During the Christmas shopping season it is easy to get caught up in the frenzy of buying gifts. But, is that “gift” truly an expression of your love for the other person or are you just fulfilling your “obligation” to give them something? To grow in friendship with someone, you need to spend time with them, learn what is of value to them. Maybe this year, buy less “stuff” and spend more time with those you love.

Thank You!

We know that not everyone will be able to attend Mass in person, including for reasons of being in a vulnerable population. Our alternatives for giving remain in place. We welcome those who can drop off their weekly envelope at the rectory, or mail their envelope to 6280 N. Sauganash Ave., Chicago, or arrange some form of electronic giving. The best way for electronic giving is to arrange regularly scheduled donations through our GiveCentral portal. Please go to our parish website at qasparish.org, click on the GiveCentral logo and follow the easy prompts or scan the QR code on the right to get started.

Stewardship Thoughts

Our Christmas Collection

We know that our Christmas collection is our largest special collection of the year, and is a very necessary part of our ability to support the many ministries, liturgies, and activities that touch us throughout the year, even in a time like 2020/21 when our normal parish life is interrupted. The dedication of the people of Queen of All Saints to maintain our faith community in time of extreme challenge has always been a hallmark of our parish. Please take this opportunity to review your charitable giving so far this year and see if Queen of All Saints is where it should be in your priorities.

Please consider what we can give back to our parish, in our time, talent and treasure,

in response to the great gifts God has given us.

Direct Contributions From Your IRA

If you are 70½ or older and have an IRA, you may qualify for a charitable giving opportunity directly from your IRA. • You are now allowed to make direct transfers

from an IRA to Queen of All Saints Parish. • This is an ideal situation even for those who do

not itemize deductions since the withdrawal is not considered taxable income.

• Our parish will receive 100% of your transfer. • You can transfer up to $100,000 annually. Our parish is our family in faith, and like any good family we are called to be present for each other. We support each other in our shared worship, in our shared prayers, and in our shared experiences.

The sacrament of baptism for infants is celebrated on Sundays. A baptismal preparation class for the parents is required. Please contact the rectory with any questions or for further details. If an adult or a school age child seeks baptism, special arrangements should be made with one of the priests. The Sacrament of Matrimony Queen of All Saints helps couples prepare not only for their wedding day, but also for the lifelong commitment of living a Christian marriage. Parishioners of Queen of All Saints Basilica who are baptized and free to marry in the Catholic Church may celebrate their marriage in Queen of All Saints Basilica. Couples from Queen of All Saints seeking marriage in Queen of All Saints Basilica should contact one of the parish priests at least six months prior to their intended date of marriage. The couple must meet with one of the priests before the date for the marriage can be confirmed. Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick The sacrament of the anointing of the sick is not just a sacrament for those who are at the point of death. As soon as one of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him or her to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived. Therefore, any member of the faithful who is seriously ill because of sickness or advanced age may properly receive this sacrament. Find Us on Social Media
