Welcome Visitors: The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in this church. Please maintain reverence,
respectful silence, and a prayerful attitude. Individual communicants are invited to kneel at the
altar rail to receive Communion (unless unable to kneel). For the reception of Holy Communion,
one must be in communion with God and neighbor, in a state of grace and not in a state of mortal
sin. And finally, please remember the way we dress for Mass shows our internal disposition
toward God.

Santo
Santo, Santo, Santo, es el Señor, Dios del uni-verso. Llenos estan el cielo y la tierra de tu gloria. Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo. Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo. Ben-dito el que viene en el nombre del Señor. Ho-sanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna en el cielo.
Parish Announcements Continued
New HVAC unit needed
The main body of our church is heated and
cooled by two HVAC units (called gas packs). One is 22 years-old and the other is 21 years-old. Unfortunately, the 21 year-old sys-tem "died" a couple of weeks ago, leaving us with one system for the main body of the
church. We have gotten a quote from the com-pany that maintains our HVAC systems. The amount to replace the HVAC system is
$6,040. That is a lot of money for a small parish like ours. I believe there are a number of pa-rishioners who would want to make a generous
donation to help cover this amount. That would be deeply appreciated. If a person would like to donate to this fund, please put a
check in a regular white envelope marked "HVAC Replacement." Thank you!
Please note: Daily Mass time changes for next week! Tuesday and Wednesday Mass will be at 9:00 am. Also the parish office will be closed from December 24th thru January 3rd. We will reopen on the 4th at 9:00 am.
Las Posadas - TODAY AT 1:00 PM
We will be having a Posada this Sunday, December 20 at 1:00 PM in our vacant lot next to the parking lot. There will be a bilingual rosary, singing, food and drink, as well as caroling throughout the
neighborhood. We invite everyone from the parish to join us for this wonderful celebration in preparation for Christmas!
Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God January 1st is a Holy Day of Obligation. Mass schedule will be:
