Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will NOT be held this Wednesday. •
The class on the Holy Spirit, “The Wild Goose” will resume this week: 7 pm Thursday, December 5 at 611 Bakehouse. •
St. Rose of Lima’s Parents’ Club and youth will participate in the Perry Christmas Parade again this year. The Parade is Saturday, Dec 7, at 6 pm. Father has changed Mass that evening to 5 pm so parishioners can either walk in the parade with our float or support our Parish families by cheering them on from the sidelines. •
The Knights of Columbus will once again prepare and serve a Christmas Dinner for all the parishioners to enjoy. The dinner is after Mass on December 8. Menu will be turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, green beans, and pie. Prices will be $7 per person or $20 per family. Please plan to attend. Carryout options are available. •
The annual Christmas fun auction will be held on December 8 after the K of C Christmas Dinner. Traditionally each family shares a food, craft, or novelty item for the auction. Proceeds from the auction provide funds for our Religious Education program. Remember, we need bidders as much as items to auction. So please plan to attend. •
Because next Sunday, December 8, is the Second Sunday of Advent, observance of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, that falls on December 8, will be observed this year on December 9. This is a Holyday of Obligation. Masses will be said at 12 noon and 6 pm. •
Our next Ladies Night Out is Wednesday, December 4, at 6 pm. Ada Pfeiffer, Shirley Scott and Carol Dvorak will host a Christmas Party for the ladies. If you’d like to participate in a gift exchange, bring a gift costing no more than $10. (No gag gifts, please.) We’ll have plenty of food, lots of fun and good fellowship. More information will be provided when you RSVP to Carol Dvorak.
We will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Sunday, December 15. The Matachines Dancers will perform with the processional and recessional from Mass. Dinner, hosted by the Tiscareno and Valencia families, will follow in the church hall. Parishioners are encouraged to bring a favorite dessert to share at the meal.
If you would like to have an ad on the back of our bulletin, please contact the Parish office at [email protected] or Debra Kendle. The ad costs $100 for one year. •
