BRING ON THE BUCKET BRIGADE!

The St. Alice Conference Bucket Brigade will collect donations on December 29th and 30th after masses. St. Alice has had an active St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) conference since the 1950s, serving the poor of our area by making home visits and providing SVdP store vouchers for clothes, household items, and beds. We are able to do this through the generous support of the members of St. Alice Parish.

You may also be a regular donor to the St. Alice SVdP Conference; envelopes are available in the pews. Just place your donation in the envelope and drop it in the collection basket or at the office.

Please call Danielle at 541-747-7041 for more information.

RCIA Classes Resume

January 10, 2019 from 6:45 to 8:30 p.m.

Winter holidays are traditionally a time of reflection. Those who have lost children to abortion are reminded of the loss, the regrets, the if-onlys. Decide now that it is time for hope and healing.

Why wait any longer to heal? Project Aurora is providing Rachel’s Vineyard retreats on Feburary 1 5-17 in Portland and March 15-17 in Medfort. The retreat is a safe and compassionate environment! Financial assistance is available. For more information, call 541-942-2861 or email ProjectAurora@aol.com.

12/23/2018 Fourth Sunday of Advent

Jesus was born during the night in the time of the year when darkness is the longest. The Savior of the world comes for the people in dark places. The real, lasting, and deep joy is that the Light shines there. Last month in November,

through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to bring the light of Jesus into the dark places of the poor, by assisting 22 adults and 33 children, providing beds, household goods, and clothing. Jesús nació durante la noche en la época del año en que la oscuridad es la más larga. El Salvador del mundo viene para la gente en lugares oscuros. La alegría real, duradera y profunda es que la luz brilla allí. El mes pasado de noviembre, a través de sus dones, la sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl fue capaz de llevar la luz de Jesús a los lugares oscuros de los pobres, ayudando a 22 adultos y 33 niños, proporcionando camas, artículos para el hogar y ropa.

12/30/2018 Feast of the Holy Family

May the peace and joy of the New Year be yours! Please remember to support the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in the coming year so that together we can continue to bring comfort and peace to our brothers and sisters who are suffering. Hoy es la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José, y así podemos celebrar que todos pertenecemos a la Sagrada Familia de Dios que nos hace hermanos y hermanas el uno al otro. ¡Que la paz y la alegría del año nuevo sean suyas! Por favor, recuerden apoyar a la sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl en el año venidero para que juntos podamos continuar con el consuelo y la paz a nuestros hermanos y hermanas que están

Deus Caritas Est:

“God is love and in Himself He lives a mystery of personal loving communion. Creating

the human race in His own image and continually keeping it in being, God inscribed in the

humanity of man and woman the vocation, and thus the capacity and responsibility, of

love and communion. Love is therefore the fundamental and

innate vocation of every human being. “

St. John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio, 11
