A coordinator of the Christmas Eve Pageant at St. Michael’s and at least 10 children are needed by 12/10. Keep the tradition alive and contact Patty at 315-536-7459 to volunteer. No volunteers? No pageant.
Advent is a liturgical season in which we focus on preparing for Christ’s second coming. Celebrate this season of preparation and reflection by using one of the aids available at our worship sites or go online to https://catholiccourier.com/adventcalendar2023/. On Formed choose “Rooted: Discover the Jesse Tree this Advent” or “Drawing Closer to God: A Catholic Art Show for Kids.” A couple shares their 7 best Advent traditions at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b1mx9UzGKg&list=PL-VSoLj6k2HZjaiJr5uQqhZ4qHdIHaoOK
Celebrating the Eucharistic is central to the life of Catholic Christians. Our own conscious, active participation at Mass in the Eucharist (“A mystery to be celebrated”) calls us to be The Body of Christ, so that we may offer God praise that is right and just. (Read Devotional-Journey-Summary-Guide to help you participate in Mass more fully.) Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation often. Although we are body, mind and spirit, “It is the spirit that gives life.” (John 6:63) Bring all your hurts, pains, sorrows and joys to Mass weekly. There, with the community, we offer ourselves and are fed by the Word and the Eucharist. Come. Praise. Pray. Be fed. Leave with the love of God radiating out of you! “It is God alone who is the source of all that we have and He alone can fulfill all our needs.” Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC #1324)
