Blessed Sacrament Parish

Our First Friday Devotion takes place on Dec. 6,  with ADORATION FROM 3-6 WITH MASS following.
 
This weekend, gives us a few good opportunities to really get into true Advent spirit…
            On Sunday, December 8 we have our PENANCE SERVICE from 3 -6 p.m.  Five confessors will be available.  IF you can’t make this, St. Margaret will have theirs on Dec. 15, 3-6 p.m.
 
            Also on Sunday…very important for our FAMILIES OF RELIGIOUS ED.   Classtime is NOT at 9:30, but we are having a special FAMILY RETREAT FROM 1-3 P.M. WITH PIZZA LUNCH.   You have received notice of this from Jolene, but a reminder that this is an important gathering for families to help you celebrate Advent in your homes…   Some wonderful activities are being planned and we do hope you’ll be there.  This is also convenient for you since the Retreat will end as the penance service begins…
 
OTher great Advent events are our SPECIAL ADVENT PRESENTATIONS…  join us on Wednesday, Dec. 11 and 18  6:30 p.m.
 
The FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION is on December 8, however, because it is on a Sunday, it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation.   Still Fr. Simon will offer a Mass to honor the Feast on Monday at 12:15 for those able to attend.
 
2020 Calendars as well as boxed envelopes are available for you in the narthex.  
 
A few Advent candle sets are left!   We also have the small paperback yearly missals available for $5.
 
Our MASS SCHEDULE for next week has a few changes…please note…  Monday, Mass at 12:15.    No Wednesday morning Mass,  and on Thursday, instead of our 6 p.m. Mass, we will have Mass at 9 a.m.
