Second Sunday of Advent

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL GIVING TREE
Please consider taking a tag from the Giving Tree and help provide Christmas to a family in our community. Each family that we deliver to receives your gifts, plus a box of groceries which we will collect on Thanksgiving. PLEASE RETURN YOUR GIFTS WITH THE TAG ATTACHED NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 15TH. St. Vincent will be delivering the gifts to all the families on December 21st. Thank you!

PARISH NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION:
The parish will be praying a Novena to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in anticipation of her feast day on December 9th. This Novena will begin on November 30 and conclude on December 8 with a procession to Our Lady’s Grotto after the 10:00 a.m. Mass. Bilingual Novena booklets will be available in the back of church for the parishioners to participate. Digital copies will be available on the website (see below).

PARISH ADVENT SERIES: THE FOUR LAST THINGS
During the season of Advent, the parish has invited Fr. Matthew Summe, LC, to provide a bilingual series of meditations on the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. These meditations will be given on December 5th, 12th, and 19th in the Church at 8:00 p.m. as part of Adoration. Instead of the Advent Penance Service, a priest will be available for Confessions on these Thursdays from 7:00-8:45 p.m.

CHOIR-CHRISTMAS MORNING MASS
For Adults who wish to sing for the Christmas Morning Mass, we will have rehearsals on the Third and Fourth Sundays of Advent after the 10:00 a.m. Mass. If you need to miss one of the rehearsals, that is alright since we will be keeping things simple. We hope you can join us. Call the Beyer Family at 859-283-0610 or 859-802-1476.

VOCATIONS COORDINATOR

The Coordinator is responsible for encouraging holy vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, and sacramental marriage within the Church. As a voting member of the Council, the Coordinator shall attend Council meetings on the second Monday of the month, not including summer months. Please contact the Parish Office at 859-431-1773 to register or Tobias Nathe at tjnathe@gmail.com, if interested.
