St. Paul reminds us that our God is an abundant God, the ultimate giver of gifts. He promises to give us all that we need. When we trust that God will take care of us, it is easier for us to share what we have been given.Learn how to share your gifts and Catholic legacy by supporting your parish and contact The

RCIA: Inquirers into the Catholic Faith have become Catechumens and Candidates
through participating in the Rite of
Welcome and Acceptance on December 2nd. Fourteen men and women publicly declared their desire to walk with us and
learn about what we believe and how we live as Catholic Christians. They will attend Mass and meet regularly to study and
ask questions to nurture their faith and
understanding. Some need a companion
to walk with them in this Catechumenate
Season. They cannot walk alone. Will you
accompany them? Are YOU interested in becoming Catholic? Call or email Theresa
DeMers and sign up for the next Alpha beginning in January.
AROUND OUR PARISH
The Christmas Novena!
This was the very first Novena we ever prayed through Pray More Novenas – and that was eight years ago. At the time, we didn’t have very many people subscribed to pray with us... And now, there are more than 450,000 people praying with us! Praise God for this community!
We have prayed for the same general intention each year that we pray this Novena, and that’s for an end to abortion.
There is no better time than to reflect on the most vulnerable of this world than during Advent and Christmas when we prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who comes to us as a small baby. We will begin
praying on Sunday, December 16th!
You can ask your friends and family to sign up here: https://www.praymorenovenas.com/christmas-novena. We’re looking forward to praying with you and for you!
God bless you!
John-Paul & Annie – PrayMoreNovenas.com
Volunteers needed!
We invite all to help in the preparation of the celebration of our Savior’s birth! St. Francis Parish Environment Group will be decorating for Christmas on Thursday, December 20 and Friday, December 21, beginning at 10:00 a.m. each day. We will begin Thursday with the Nativity setup, window, wreath and garland decor, and set up the Christmas trees on Friday. We will follow up with the Poinsettia delivery on Saturday, December 22, to unpack and arrange the flowers beginning at 9:00 a.m. Please join us!
Contact Donna Hamilton (740-404-7781), with any questions or comments.
Would you or someone you know be willing to open and close the gates at Mt. Calvary cemetery on the weekend (Saturday
and Sunday)? If so, Please contact Bill McWilliams, Director of Cemeteries, at 740-345-9874, ext. 224.
Knight Before Christmas: Council 11665 will be hosting a 1st Degree Ceremony on Wednesday, December 19, 2018, in the MPR.

Sundays beginning December 9th through Epiphany Sunday, January 6th are Undies Sunday!
During this drive, we ask parishioners to provide new packaged or tagged underwear for toddlers through seniors, males and females who are in need. Realizing that dignity starts with the basics, we seek to provide new underwear to those who may not have the resources for this foundational garment (and is one that most agencies don’t provide). All underwear collected is distributed by various social service outreach groups in Licking County. Drop your donation in the laundry baskets found at the church doors or contact the parish office for details.
Protecting God’s Children
St. Francis Parish will hold a PGC session on Thursday, January 24th, 6:00-9:00pm in Johnson Hall. Attendance at this training is required for any adult who wishes to volunteer within the parish or the school with children. To sign up for this session, please go to www.virtus.org.

The Call to Address Racism in Our Hearts and Communities
In their new pastoral letter against racism,
Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call
to Love, the Catholic bishops of the United
States invite conversion of hearts, minds,
and institutions in order to address the evil
of racism that still exists in our
communities.
By our baptism, we are members of Christ’s
body and sharers in his mission. Imitating
Christ, we must care for all members of our
communities, honoring each person as
unique, sacred, and created in the image of
God. We know that the evil of racism cuts to
the core of God’s plan for humanity,
devaluing the diversity God created within
the human family. As followers of Christ, we
seek to reclaim the God-given sanctity of
each person’s inviolable human dignity. The
bishops remind us, “The command of love
requires us to make room for others in our
hearts. It means that we are indeed our
brother’s keeper (see Gn 4:9).”
Some among us may want to believe that
our country has moved beyond the reality of
racism that has so profoundly stained its
past, or that racism does not involve us.
Almost every day, news headlines
demonstrate that our country’s “original
sin” of racism continues to impact the lives
of many Americans, many of them
Catholic—particularly those who belong to
the African American, Hispanic/Latino, or
Native American communities.
There are signs that racism’s legacies
remain prevalent in many systemic
inequalities that have deep impact on
people of color. The bishops write, “Racism
can only end if we contend with the policies
and institutional barriers that perpetuate
and preserve the inequality—economic and
social—that we still see all around us.”
Within the walls of the Church, many people
of color have experienced discrimination
and outright racism. Leadership has been
lacking. The bishops write, “All too often,
leaders of the Church have remained silent
about the horrific violence and other racial
injustices perpetuated against African
Americans and others.” Reflecting on these
realities, the bishops implore us to find ways
to actively work against the evil of racism.
We must seek racial justice within our
Church and in our country. Let us all allow
the Holy Spirit to convert our hearts to do
the work of healing, so we may live
authentically in true relationship to one
another. Let the fruit of this conversion be
evident in our full celebration and
integration of ethnic and cultural diversity,
which is truly a gift from God.
“We read the headlines that report the killing of
unarmed African Americans by law enforcement
officials. In our prisons, the numbers of inmates
of color, notably those who are brown and black,
is grossly disproportionate. Despite the great
blessings of liberty that this country offers, we
must admit the plan truth that for many of our
fellow citizens, who have done nothing wrong,
interactions with the police are often fraught
with fear and even danger.”
– U.S. bishops, Open Wide Our Hearts

How Can I Respond?
(1) Listen to and know the stories of our brothers and sisters who have suffered
from racism in history, and in the present. True and authentic encounter is
difficult but worth the effort. Authentic relationships require vulnerability, humility, and
getting outside of your comfort zones. For some, this will mean actively seeking
opportunities to engage with people of diverse backgrounds. For others, this might mean
raising your voice or sharing your story. Through authentic engagement we bring
together diverse perspectives and experiences which honor the fullness of God’s plan.
(2) Work to address both individual and systemic racism. Racism can be individual,
when persons fail to recognize certain groups as created in the image of God and equal in
dignity, or it can be systemic, where practices or policies are upheld that treat certain
groups of people unjustly. These systems are often perpetuated due to the silence or
unawareness of many. Commit to learning more about racism and employment, housing,
wealth, education, criminal justice, and voting—and then get involved in diocesan, parish
or community efforts to pray and work for conversion of both hearts and systems.
(3) Think about what you can do, wherever you are. Commit to raising your
awareness in whatever situations you find yourself.
a. As people of faith, we can intentionally work to create spaces of welcome and
opportunities for encounter. Create opportunities for sharing of stories and learn
how racism impacts our communities. Regularly think about whose voices may
be missing as leaders and volunteers in parish ministry. In parishes and schools,
educators can use activities from usccb.org/racism to integrate content on the
pastoral letter into their lessons.
b. In your family, think about who you socialize with on a regular basis.
Intentionally create opportunities to interact with those you may not run into
over the normal course of your week. Where in your community do you see
diverse groups of people come together? Parents: talk with your children about
race. Continuing to talk with them about everyone’s human dignity and the pain
of racism in our country will help form them to respect the dignity of all. Find
prayers for children at usccb.org/racism.
c. At school or work, ask: How you can learn more about other cultures? What
resources are available to you? If there are others who are treated differently
because of their race, speak up. Think about what you might do if you hear
someone make disparaging remarks about a classmate or coworker. How can you
be ready to respond?
(4) As individuals and communities of faith, examine your conscience. We all
must ask ourselves: Where have I not lived as an example of Christ’s love? Where have
my attitudes or perceptions caused me to devalue persons of other cultures or
ethnicities? When have I been unnecessarily suspicious or allowed a preconceived notion
to overshadow the human nature of another? When have I seen the “other” instead of
welcoming an opportunity to listen to the story of that person’s life, struggles, or joys?
For More InformationRead the new pastoral letter, Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love and then talk with others about how your community can respond to the bishops’ invitation in the pastoral letter. USCCB resources against racism are at usccb.org/racism.

The ROSARY …and Delightful Christmas Programs…
Attending school Christmas concerts is a sure way to get into the Christmas spirit. If you are fortunate enough to attend a program of kindergartners and first graders, you know how spontaneous they can be. They are God’s Little Angels. Older students work so hard with weeks of practice to fine tune their programs. The concerts draw family members close together in a way that just has to make Our Blessed Mother smile…celebrating the Birth of the Baby Jesus. Another delightful Christmas experience is a visit to the Jubilee Museum in downtown Columbus, between now and January 6th, to see the annual Christmas display. There are over 400 Nativity scenes from all over the world…even a tiny Nativity carved in a quartz crystal, with figures the size of grains of rice. Quoting their web site, “The diversity in the way the Holy Family is depicted by different cultures around the world is astounding.” You will also find Christmas trees, model train displays and a Dickens Village. Christmas hours are Monday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., and Sunday from 1:00-4:00 p.m. To learn more, go to jubileemuseum.org.
Remember, you and your family are always invited to take part in our weekly Rosary for Peace, every Saturday at 4:35
p.m., prior to our Vigil Mass.
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
JOIN US FOR AN EVENING OF ADVENT MUSIC AND PRAYER
On Sunday, December 16 at 5:00 p.m., the Parish Choir of St. Thomas Aquinas, 144 N. Fifth Street.,
Zanesville, will once again present a special service of Advent Lessons and Carols. This service is a very moving combination of the Scriptural prophecies of Christ’s coming and the beautiful carols of Advent, sung by choir and congregation. The service is sung by choirs of many denominations and finds its home in the English collegiate and cathedral traditions. If you did not attend last year, please consider making this service part of your preparation for Christmas – it can be a welcome moment of prayerful rest in the busy weeks of Advent. We look forward to seeing you on December 16 at 5:00 p.m. A reception will follow.
Advent Reconciliation at Local Parishes:
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Buckeye Lake
Sunday, December 16th at 4:00 p.m. Church of the Ascension, Johnstown Tuesday, December 18th at 7:00 p.m. Blessed Sacrament, Newark
Friday, December 21st at 7:00 p.m.
Bethesda Healing Ministry: Sometimes memories can keep us from experiencing the fullness of new life, even following the reception and graced forgiveness from the Sacrament of Penance. If you have experienced abortion in your life and the memory continues to haunt you, perhaps inviting Jesus often into that memory will open your spirit to the peace only He can give. Begin by praying “Jesus, I don’t want to be chained any longer to the memories of my abortion. Please come and heal me.” To share the graces of this journey with those who have been there, contact Bethesda Healing Ministry. He is waiting for you. The ministry meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. Call us on confidential lines at 614-309-2651 or 614-309-0157 or visit our website at www.bethesdahealing.org.
St. Vincent de Paul Pantry News: We are very fortunate to have so many people support the food pantry and carry out the mission of Jesus. Thanks to each of you, In November, the pantry served 804 people distributing over 200 turkeys. As we continue the Advent Season and head into Christmas, we are asking each parish family to consider making a Christmas gift to the pantry either by donating canned fruit, soup, tuna, mac & cheese or personal items
– especially toilet paper. You may also make a cash donation to the pantry by designating in the memo section of your check “St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry.” We are so grateful for the contributions we receive. Thank you for helping to make the holiday season a blessed one for each of the families that we serve at the pantry.
Come out to celebrate the life of Thomas James Knox!
The evening will be filled with great food, beverages, auction items and dancing with music by the Reaganomics! Don’t miss out! We are holding one final fundraiser on January 26th and you can visit the following for more information about the event: https://cbo.io/thomasknox.
