  A.  Schedule of upcoming events:  In an attempt to make our Advent special this year, we invite the community to focus on one gift to the less fortunate each of the 4 Sundays.  We will include a special reconciliation rite the 4th Sunday, Dec. 18.  See the flier:  Download Advent 2011

     Last Sunday, December 4, The 2nd of Advent.   The gift: Toys.  Thanks to Beth & Rob Robinson for coordinating.  Beth says they need volunteers to sort & hand out toys:

If anyone is interested, the store could use some extra hands to man "store," where the parents/caretakers come in to find toys for their children. Here are the hours that were suggested by the coordinator, Vicky Stilly: 

On the 14th  - we could use 2-8 volunteers from noon to 2p and/or 4p to 6:30p
On the 15th   -  we can use help from noon to 4p and/or 4p to 6p.
Questions: Vickie Stilly: 214-675-3318 cell
   

Plus she added: The CCCAC was overjoyed with the generous contributions from the John Stack Ministries.

    All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday.  We were circa 35 people.   Another 10 would fit in comfortably.  It seemed safe enough and time for us to take off our masks this Sunday.  It was exhilarating!  Feedback?  One head's up: be conservative on hugging for the Sign of Peace.  Not everybody is ready yet for hugs.

  • Reminder for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 7, 2025

    ByRosemary

    Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

    Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

    Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

     


    September 2

                                                                                    

    When we deal tenderly with the lack in others, we make room for a new kind of greatness in ourselves.
