We extend our condolences to the family and friends of
our brother in the parish family who recently passed away
December 17
--I paused on a winter cold night and
felt the beauty of soft snowflakes up-
on my cheeks. I marveled at a pres-
ence more than mine in that moment
of wonder…
The Word was made flesh and dwelt
among us.
--I visited a dying woman in the hos-
pital. I sensed her courage and her
strength in the midst of great frailty…
The Word was made flesh and dwelt
among us.
--I looked into the eyes of the clerk at
the department store. They were the
eyes of one who was tired and dis-
couraged…
The Word was made flesh and dwelt
among us.
--I walked past a homeless man on the
street. He held out an ungloved hand
and asked me for coffee money to
warm him in the cold…
The Word became flesh and dwelt
among us.
--I read a letter from a single parent
who still has no work. She grieves
over the little she can give her chil-
dren and worries about their health…
The Word was made flesh and dwelt
among us.
--I went to church today and sang the
songs of Advent yearning. I turned
my heart to God who’s always in need
of a better dwelling place and I begged
for transformation…
The Word became flesh and dwelt
among us.
--I opened up the package that came
in the mail. When I saw the little
sprigs of fresh holly, hope sprang up
in my heart…
The Word became flesh and dwelt
among us.
O Word made flesh, you came to
dwell among us long ago. No
matter how dull and lifeless, or how
happy and fulfilling our lives may be,
there is always need for a deeper
awareness of your hopeful presence.
Freshen up our vision so that we can
recognize your dwelling within us and
among us in this Advent season. May
our lives be filled with love for all
those who come our way. Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus, Come!
Gloria Nolan, Pastoral Minister
Dear Parishioners,
Below is a timely reflection for Advent containing excerpts from The Word Was Made Flesh by Joyce Rupp.

At Masses on December 24 and 25, the cash and loose change will be given to the following four charitable organizations.
Home of St. Patrick’s Pantry, feeds the hungry, and Love Life, provides basic infant and toddler needs for low-income families.
Support the senior care pro-gram of the Hispanic commu-nity living in the greater Green Bay area with hope that they will help out as “abuelitos” (grandparents) at Love Life.
Provides compassionate, non-judgmental, pastoral service to inmates, who are also made in the likeness of God.
Prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emer-gencies by mobilizing volun-teers and supplies. We are specifically giving to aid the Tennessee Fire Victims.

serendipitous experience, an insight while reading scripture, or the sharing of a
quote or story. Minimum suggested donation of $10. (Retail price $15.)

A sacrament is a visible sign of
an invisible grace. We have 7
sacraments - more than any other Christian church. We
believe that there are 7 ele-
ments needed to sustain the
spiritual life of the soul. Many
of us do not understand or
believe the Real Presence of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is needed to sustain the
spiritual life of our soul. What is the Eucharist? It’s
NOT symbolic. Come to this session to learn more.
All are invited to attend. This is a continuation of Fr.
John Girotti’s DVD series Know Your Faith . Drop
in; no need to RSVP. Please direct any questions to Carrie at [email protected] or (920) 499-1546.
We’ll enjoy hospitality with coffee and donuts after Mass.
Our patron saint was the first native born
American to be canonized by the Catholic Church. She established the first Catholic
girls' school in the nation in Emmitsburg,
Maryland, where she also founded the first American
congregation of religious sisters, the Sisters of Charity.
