Faith Formation
SCRIPTURE REFLECTION Isaiah 61;1-2A,10-11 We may think prophets had some special frequency with which to talk with God, but the reality is that what they knew of God came from somewhere deep inside, not from a heavenly messenger or divine pipeline. Isaiah speaks with that certainty: The spirit of the Lord God is upon me (61:1). He knows what God expects of him, the message he is to proclaim, and that God will act decisively. Isaiah is so sure, that he would stake his life on it. Paul, too, is filled with conviction, and calls us to rejoice. The God who rushes through Pauls veins gives him the conviction to assert that we can be pre-served blameless (5:23) and live at one with Christ our Lord. Yes, Isaiah and Paul are Bible characters. But they werent born within its pages. Once, they walked streets and worked. They went through times of uncertainty and times of conviction. Look at John the Baptist. He had to send disciples to ask Jesus if he was the Messiah, but he also exhibited great strength of conviction. He fully trusted that he was just a herald, and that he would be followed by one in whom the word of God would be so strong and pure that it would overshadow his poor efforts to proclaim it. John knew this for certain, and would stake his life upon it. We, too, know certain things for sure. We, too, can stake our lives on them. SHARING FAITH Do you ever get a sense of certainty where you just know something without having a clear reason or evidence? Where does that knowing come from? In what kinds of circumstances has that certain knowledge come to you? Todays readings call us to see the world with eyes of faith and to believe God can bring justice into the world. When have you experienced Gods faithfulness? Could you speak with conviction about Gods actions in the lives of humans? We sing Marys Magnificat in the psalm today, rejoicing in God our Savior. What great things has the Almighty done in your life, and how can you sing his praises like Mary?

***MASS CHANGE***
Beginning on January 1, 2012 the 9:00am Sunday Mass will be changed to 8:45am. COLUMBARIUM PROJECT POSTPONED
We sent out a survey request seeking the parish's interest in developing a Columbarium Internment garden in two possible areas here on our parish property. While the results so far have been evenly split, the actual number of responses have been very low. The Parish Finance Committee has endorsed this project 100%, and view this project as a potentially very attractive addition to our parish facilities. Many parishes are looking at this type of memorial garden as a reasonable alternative to other options you or your family may be considering. The prospect of having the ashes of our loved ones being perpetually interred here on the parish sacred property is indeed of interest to many of our long term parishioners. Given the many issues we all face during end of year and seasonal events, we have decided to delay this project until early 2012. We will send out a new survey the first of next year, and perhaps set up a parish hall meeting to discuss the opinions and questions you may have regarding this project. Feel free to submit any questions to the parish Office, or we will have a Columbarium Committee in place by the first of the year to answer any of your questions. The architectural plan will be in the parish office for your review.
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
The sign-up book for Eucharistic Adoration with permanent timeslots will be in the narthex on the weekends and in the chapel during the week. Please sign-up this week. We are in desperate need of increasing the number of guardians. There are 28 timeslots with only 1 name. We have a few guardians who cover more than one day or time. I you cannot make a commitment for a certain day or time please consider being a captain for one time segment, from either 9:30-3:00 or 4:00 to 9:00. Or, just sign-up as a substitute. We certainly need everyones help to continue the meaningful ministry.
Adoration Chapel will be closed from December 19th until January 3rd for the Christmas Holidays.
Catholic Therapists
St. Andrew has a couple of professional therapists who provide services in an office area here at church. Each is a licensed and independent practitioner, and a member of the Catholic Therapist Association. You may call them individually for an appointment: Tom Spudic, Ph.D. (7/596-5869), Ann Howe, Ph.D. (6/887-7800)
