Parish Mission Statement: The Catholic family of St. Kilian Parish seeks to

be a vibrant, welcoming community of faith, guided by the Holy Spirit, nourished by God’s

Word and the Eucharist, and committed to witnessing God in and through

Our neighbors.

Memorial Candles We are once again accepting reservations for the

memorial candles located on the candle stands in the

Church. The new reservation time will be January through June, 2021. The donation is $100 and the

candles will be lit throughout the entire six months. These candles may be reserved either in memory of

someone, for someone living or a special intention. A small plaque is placed in front of each candle

signifying the intention. Since there are a limited number of candles, new reservations are accepted before renewals. To reserve these memorial candles, the donation must be paid in person at the rectory

by Monday, December 28, 2020. This will allow for the new plaques to be printed and ready for display on January 1, 2021.

To my fellow St. Kilian Parishioners,

It’s hard to believe that soon it’ll be my second Christmas as your

Pastor – without having celebrated an Easter here yet!

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you from the bottom

of my heart. I thank you for your unwavering support, both

spiritually and financially to St. Kilian’s Parish, as we weather the

pandemic in these troubling times. Because of your generosity,

we have been the only parish in the area to keep all of our staff

employed, make a few needed repairs and continue with our

current Capital Campaign efforts with the construction of our

long awaited new elevator!

On behalf of our Priests, Deacons and Staff, I wish you and your

family a blessed Christmas filled with Christ’s peace and blessings

for you and your family. May the newborn Savior’s gifts of love,

hope and joy be yours this Christmas Season! And let us together

pray for a happy, safe, normal and healthy New Year.

God Bless You!

Msgr. Rowan

NEWS FROM OUR FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM

As we enter this season of great Joy we wish all of our families and all parishioners of St. Kilian Parish the most Blessed, Holy, Healthy and Faith-Filled Christmas and New Year!

This year due to Covid 19 restrictions our Faith Formation Program at St. Kilian looks very different! Our children are being taught at home by their parents. The parents and children are being supported not only by our office but also by our catechists. The catechists are reaching out to our families via phone, email and good old fashioned snail mail!

Each family has received a tote bag with the books and all handout materials for each child in the family along with a detailed teaching calendar to follow. Our catechists have received the same materials as the families so that they may be as helpful as possible.

Kudos to our Faith Formation office staff for preparing 800 totes filled with books and materials for our families and over 50 for our catechists – in addition to doing registrations, 1st Communions and Confirmations!

We have initiated a monthly program newsletter - Information Station. The newsletter includes seasonal as well as grade level help and information for parents and children. Some of our grade level help is provided by catechists sharing the hints and insights they have used over their teaching years with our families. Look for many helpful hints on level 3 in our January issue.

Parents are working with our level 2 children to prepare them for 1st Reconciliation and 1st Eucharist. They too have received all materials the children would have received in class.

Our 7th grade Confirmation Preparation students are completing required worksheets as they study. As they finish their work they mail the worksheets to the office (in envelopes provided by the office in their materials). We track their work and follow up with calls or emails to be sure all work is completed.

Our sacrament grade levels will be receiving extra materials to enhance their at home teaching/learning experience.

We will be scheduling times in late Spring 2021 for the checking of the work done at home by all levels during the year.

Most importantly we ask that our parish pray for our families as they work their way through a very different year! The Church teaches that parents are the primary educators of their children in the faith and this year they live that teaching as never before!

All of us at St. Kilian Social Ministry would like to thank everyone who contributed to our Gift Star program! We are humbled by the generosity you have shown to your Farmingdale neighbors in need and wish you could have seen the

smiling faces and heard the words of gratitude as bundles of food and gifts were distributed. It was truly heart-warming! We want you to know that together we made a differ-

ence in many lives this holiday season.

St. Kilian Parishioners are the best!

deep joy of Christmas.

An announcement is a special kind of message, usually one letting us know that something important is going to happen. You might have received certain kinds of

announcements in the mail. Sometimes when people graduate or changing jobs they send out announcements. Your parents probably make announcements at home – like announcing

when dinner is ready or when it’s time to take a bath. Today’s gospel lesson contains a special announcement. In fact, it’s such a special

announcement that we even call it that: It is the story of “the annunciation.” In this reading, the Angel

Gabriel appears to a young woman named Mary and he announces that she is going to have a baby – and not just any baby – he tells

Mary that her baby will be the Son of God. Mary is to

be Jesus’ mother. That’s quite an

announcement!! We’ve reached the fourth Sunday

of Advent – the month during which we prepare, like Mary, for the coming of Jesus at Christmas.

And at last the time has come. We have only a few

more days to wait. Are you ready?.

Let’s pray. Dear God,

Christmas is almost here. Fill our hearts with your love as we wait for the

coming of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

A mis compañeros feligreses de St. Kilian.

Es difícil creer que pronto será mi segunda Navidad como su pastor, ¡sin haber celebrado todavía una Pascua aquí! Quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecerles a todos desde el fondo de mi corazón. Les agradezco su apoyo inquebrantable, tanto espiritual como financiero a la parroquia de St. Kilian, mientras superamos la pandemia en estos tiempos difíciles. Gracias a su generosidad, hemos sido la única parroquia en el área que mantuvo a todo nuestro personal empleado, haciendo algunas reparaciones necesarias y continuando con nuestros esfuerzos actuales de la Campaña Capital con la construcción de nuestro ¡nuevo ascensor tan esperado! En nombre de nuestros sacerdotes, diáconos y personal, les deseo a ustedes y sus familias una Navidad bendecida llena de paz y de bendiciones de Cristo para ustedes y sus familias. ¡Que los regalos de amor, esperanza y alegría del recién nacido Salvador sean tuyos en esta temporada navideña! Y recemos juntos por un año nuevo feliz, seguro, normal y saludable.

¡Dios les bendiga!
