St. Nicholas, Gifts and Stewardship

2 days ago

Next Sunday, December 6th we celebrate the feast day of St. Nicholas. There is more legend than fact in the story, but we do know that he was Bishop of Myra in Turkey and was among those who signed the documents affirming the divinity of Christ promulgated at the Council of Nicea in 325. He must also have been a good steward, for many of the legends about him focus on his charity. ...

Advent begins tomorrow, and today is the last day of the Liturgical Year. Father Jerry encourages us to bring light into the new year, to be a sign of God's compassion in our midst, to bring to birth the advent of the Christ of God. He offers, "May we decide that 2021, no matter what happens, will be a year of light over darkness, a year of hope over despair, a year of peace over anger, a year of community over division. We can choose what 2021 will be."

Today the church celebrates Friday of the 34th week in ordinary time. "Soon our growing season begins to end. Summer gives way to Autumn; our final colors before we return to God who planted us," says Father Jerry. "The grayness of late November mirrors the fragility of our lives. These days on the edge of winter are signs that are growing season becomes shorter and our days to harvest become fewer." But there's good news... hear it in the new video above!

I know that some of you aren't particularly religious, but I wanted to share the homily my brother, Fr. Jerry, pastor at All Hallows Church gave today. It brought back many memories for me (and tears to my eyes) and perhaps it may do the same for you. This excerpt is 20 min. long, but I wanted to share it with you. May you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!❤️

Same to you Morlane!🧡

Today the church celebrates The Feast of Saint Miguel Pro, who on the 23rd of November 1927, at the age of 36, was martyred for his Catholic sympathies. He was a Jesuit, and was martyred during the government persecutions of Catholicism in the 1920s. As he was executed, he cried, "Long live Christ the King!" — a powerful statement following on the heels of The Feast of Christ the King of the Universe.
