CHRISTMAS CHOIR
Anyone interested in singing with the adult choir at the 6:00 pm Mass on Christmas Eve is welcome to join us. There will be 4 mandatory rehearsals (12/15, and 12/19) from 7 pm to 8 pm and some practice on your own with a practice link. You should have a pleasant singing voice. The ability to read music is not necessary but would help since there are limited rehearsals before Christmas.
We are in desperate need of men for the Tenor and Bass section and altos in the lady's section. Of course, sopranos are welcome too! For more information or to sign up, please contact Joe Viserta, the director of liturgy and music, at jviserta@resmusic.org or speak with him after Mass.

Advent Adventure for December 11th
Today is the 3rd Sunday in Advent!
Make sure you light the rose candle on your Advent Wreath! Happy Gaudete Sunday! There is an additional video today from the Holy Heroes Mass Prep about this Sunday’s Gospel! Here are some ideas for celebrating this Third Sunday in Advent:–Make a special Christmas treat (the “Clara in the Kitchen” video today will provide some recipes!)
–Invite friends over to play and sing Christmas carols
–Begin setting up some Christmas decorations (today is the day we buy our Christmas tree!)
Here are three quick things about today’s page:1. Today’s Advent Adventure video contains a special edition of “Clara in the Kitchen.”2. Today’s Jesse Tree video is about David.3. Today’s resources include activities, coloring pages, and printouts for additional prayers.
Now, let's go to today's Advent Adventure Activities!
Today's Gospel
Matthew 11:2-11
While in prison, John sends a messenger to Jesus to ask, “Are you He who is to come or do we look for another?” Jesus replies by citing the miracles he has performed for the blind, the deaf, and the crippled. He concludes by identifying John as the messenger He has sent to prepare the way
HELP CATHOLICS COME HOME
Do you know someone who was baptized Catholic but has stopped attending Mass, is questioning the faith, or hasn’t found a parish home? Why not help your friend to come home? Perhaps you can act as a resource or offer to attend Mass together.
If you aren’t sure how to help, ask our priests for advice.
