800th Anniversary of the Nativity!
Would you consider sharing your nativity set with your Parish community for the first three weeks of Advent?We will have tables available in front of the St. Joseph statue to display our family nativities. Your Liturgy Committee thought it would be a splendid idea to join together our family traditions.
What better way to bring families together? If you would like to share your nativity set with your Parish family, please bring it on the first Sunday of Advent (December 2). Please have your family's name attached to the nativity set in some way.
St. Francis’s meditations on the Life of Christ led him to create the first-ever nativity scene in Greccio, Italy in 1223. It is believed Francis's inspiration to do a live representation of the birth of Jesus came from his time in the Holy Land in the years 1219 and 1220.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Mark your calendar for December 5th! St. Benedict will have 6 or 7 priests available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This is another way to bring families together for the preparation of Christmas. This penitential service will be at 7:00 p.m. Please join us in this beautiful sacrament. If it has been a while since you participated in the sacrament of reconciliation, don't worry! Any and all of the priests will help you through the process. Reconciliation (officially called the sacrament of penance and also known as confession) is a Sacrament instituted by Jesus in his love and mercy to offer us forgiveness for the times we have sinned and turned away from God.
The Winter Progressive Raffle will soon begin! Get ready to purchase those tickets for Stocking Stuffers, a gift for that person who is hard to buy for, or .. for yourself. More info next week!
