THE POPE’S MONTHLY INTENTIONS December 2018

Evangelization-In the Service of the Transmission of Faith

That people, who are involved in the service and transmission of faith, may find, in their dialogue with culture, a language suited to the conditions of the present time.

Rosary Prayer Intentions for December (provided by Our Legions of Mary)

SPECIAL December Rosary Intentions: that priests invoke the power of the Holy Spirit to use simple but meaningful language in their homilies…that different societies within the church structure reach out in a loving, welcoming and affable way to newcomers in their parishes…that priests, nuns, brothers and the laity at large communicate the message of Jesus, not only in their words, but also in their actions – that they lead by example rather than relying on just rhetoric…that those in Congress inculcate (wherever and whenever possible) the message of love, peace, conciliation, compromise and harmony during their legislations and dialogues…that Catholic communities throughout the world unite to proclaim the two greatest commandments: Love God completely…Love your neighbor as yourself…that the church laity pray daily and offer their communions for world peace…that the Church’s message be framed in terms of brevity, sincerity and simplicity and void of platitudes. ON-GOING Personal Rosary Intentions Joyful Mysteries for the unborn, newly born, young children, teenagers, families and friendships. Luminous Mysteries for the newly baptized, those receiving confession and the Holy Eucharist for the first time, newlyweds and those already married – love/peace/unity – now and forever. Sorrowful Mysteries for the sick and suffering, the dying, the oppressed, the tortured, the persecuted, the lonely, the abandoned and the depressed. Glorious Mysteries for the souls in purgatory, forgotten souls, newly confirmed and ALL life, the intercession of Mary to Jesus for our daily intentions and the requested intentions of others.

Support the Retirement Fund for Religious A donor writes, “Your flyer touched my heart—seeing the retired religious, such memories surfaced.” Do you remember the sisters, brothers, or religious order priests who made a positive difference in your life? Today many are elderly and need assistance. Their religious communities struggle to meet retirement needs while continuing to serve the People of God. Please give to next week’s second collection.

Parents: The safety of your children is one of our main concerns. For the safe drop off and pick up of children,

PLEASE do not pull in front of the school and drop off your children! Please PARK IN DESIGNATED SPACES.

Sunday morning and Tuesday afternoon classes: Children should be brought to and picked up at the classroom. Tuesday evening
