Building the Body of Christ

My Dear Parishioners,
During Advent both Fr. Valerian and I will be available to hear confessions on Sundays at 8:30 am (before the 9:30 Mass) at St. Joseph Chapel, Carondelet Center.
Hope you can join us.
In this season of Advent, the church presents John the Baptist to us as a model. John teaches us that waiting for the coming of Christ is not merely a joyful expectation—it is also careful preparation. It requires a commitment to making the world more just for everyone. It is not enough to proclaim the gospel with our lips; we must live it and through our lives and ministry. (Source: US Catholic)

St. Joseph Center has also asked us to create snack bags for children while they are out of school for Christmas vacation and not getting school lunches. In addition, we have been asked to create bags of essential needs for farm workers and this info will also be posted on our website and be available at Sunday Mass. We hope to assemble these bags after Mass on Sunday, December 14 in the dining room.
