Patrick Sloan, 07-06-13 Melvin Flegner, 04-01-13 A Warm Welcome … to the following new members who

recently registered in St. Bernadette Parish:

☺ Jasmany & Claudia Escribano,

and children Kevin, Jazlyn, & Rmani

Watch for their picture on the bulletin board in the Gathering Area so

you can welcome them personally. We extend an invitation to all who

regularly worship with us to become registered members of our parish.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel Special Advent devotions will be offered at St. Bernadette Parish on

November 30 and December 7, 14, and 21, at 4:15PM in the church.

All are welcome to come and pray during this holy season of

preparation as we await the solemn celebration of Christ’s birthday.

Submit Christmas Memorials Donations for Christmas Memorials, in whatever amount you choose,

may be placed in the collection basket or sent to the parish office

anytime before December 16. Please include the legible name(s) of

your departed loved one(s) to be held in memory and your name to

receive credit for the donation. Identify it as “Christmas Memorial.”

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, falls on a

Sunday this year. Consequently, the celebration of the solemnity moves

to Monday, December 9, but the obligation to attend Mass does not.

Please Pray for Our Long-term Sick:

Help give aid to typhoon victims If you would like to help the people of the

Philippines and Vietnam who were recently

devastated by the typhoon, you are encouraged

to send a donation directly to Catholic Relief

Services with the notation that it is for this

particular relief effort (P.O. Box 17090,

Baltimore, MD 21297-0303 or www.crs.org). We

also ask that you join with people around the

world in praying for those who have died, been

injured, or are in need of relief.

La Sagrada Familia In 1981, our Archdiocese began a relationship with

a courageous community of people who were eager

to become a parish. Two priests from our Archdiocese

responded to their invitation and today there is a

population of 30,000 people in La Sagrada Familia

parish living in a small area of the Dominican

Republic. The growth of the parish can be measured in

terms of buildings and programs and projects

established to meet the changing needs of the people.

However, more importantly, the growth can be

measured by the bonds of faith and friendship that

have continued to deepen between the people of La

Sagrada Familia and the parishioners and students in

our Archdiocese.

This December, parishes in the Archdiocese have been

asked to host a special collection for La Sagrada

Familia. Colored envelopes will be available in the pews

the weekend of December 7-8. Checks, made payable

to St. Bernadette Parish, or cash can be placed in these

envelopes to give a donation to La Sagrada Familia.

created through Him and for Him. Does my stewardship of the

blessings entrusted to me give evidence that Christ is Lord of my life?

Northwest Catholic School News It’s hard to believe the first quarter of our school

year has already ended. Basketball season is

starting and we have established the first ever

cheerleading team for NWC. Go Knights! Throughout the first

quarter, we celebrated the fall season at our Fall Family Fun Night.

We decorated pumpkins, had games for the kids, and enjoyed

delicious treats. It was a huge success and we had overwhelming

participation from our families. The best part of all was seeing our

students, parents, and staff working together to provide a night of

fun for all.

The Book Fair will be located at both the Lower and Upper Campuses

from November 20-26. You can also check out our Online Book Fair

from November 13 to December 3 and the books will be delivered

to school.

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks for your participation in

the Soles for Education walk. Among the thousands that participated,

we had 110 people walking proudly for our school. With your help,

we surpassed our goal of $4,000 and raised $6,018.02 for

Northwest Catholic. This will go a long way towards making our

growing school accessible for all.
