UVOD U MISNA ČITANJA

I. Knjiga Sefanije sadrži djela prijetnje i suda, ali i obećanja spasenja: Gospodin tvoj Bog će te obnoviti svojom ljubavlju.

II. Prihvatimo opomene apostola Pavla koji poziva Filipljane na radost i mir. Oni svoj izvor imaju u Gospodinu.

III. Ivan Krstitelj navješćuje potrebe novoga kršćanskog života. Mi koji smo prihvatili krštenje, ne samo u vodi nego i u Duhu Kristovu, trebamo također prihvatiti ove zahtjeve.

RESPECT LIFE MESSAGE

A new book entitled “My Child, My Gift: A Positive Response to a Serious Prenatal Diagnosis” quotes a mother of a child with Down syndrome, “The greatest surprise is this: Our life together has been less about me helping him reach his potential than about him helping me reach mine.”

REST IN PEACE!

This Tuesday, December 15th at 10:30AM, the funeral Mass will be celebrated for a long time parishioner NED BLITVIĆ. May our heavenly Father reward him in his eternity. Sincere sympathy to his family.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

It is recommended that you register and use monthly or weekly envelopes. If you already have your envelope number, please take the 2010 package in the vestibule of the church. If you do not have one, call the parish office and you will be assigned a personal number or fill out the bottom portion and return to the rectory. Thank you!

RUČAK I DJEČJI BOŽIĆNI PROGRAM

Danas nakon svečane župske Mise svi ste pozvani na ručak i Božićni program što ga kao i svake godine spremaju polaznici naše “Hrvatske dječje škole” i kolo grupe “Croatia”. Uz blagdane sv. Nikole i sv. Lucije svako će dijete, koje dođe na program, dobiti i Božićni poklon.
Ispunite dvoranu. Tako dajete djeci i učiteljima poticaj za još uspješniji rad u “Hrvatskoj školi”. Kupite ulaznice na ulazu.

DUHOVNA PRIPRAVA ZA BOŽIĆ

U potrošačkoj groznici troši se mnogo vremena i novca za materijalne stvari, koje često nemaju nikakve veze s Božićem. Zato mi kršćani dajemo prednost duhovnoj pripravi za blagdan Isusova rođenja. Uz molitvu i Misu pozornost treba posvetiti ispovijedi i pričesti.
Svake nedjelje imate prigodu za ispovijed prije sv. Mise, a ispovijedat će se također i na Badnjak pred “Polnoćku” u 9:30PM-10:30PM.

DRUGA KOLEKTA

na kraju današnjih sv. Misa ide u fond koji pokriva životne troškove i medicinsku skrb 5,452 redovnika i redovnica kojima to njihove redovničke zajednice ne mogu priskrbiti.
Hvala na velikodušnosti!

VAŽNA OBAVIJEST

Odlukom župskog vijeća svi se župljani dijele u aktivne i neaktivne. Oni aktivni, koji uz to imaju i broj svoje koverte, dobivaju posebni popust pri upotrebi župskog centra.
Već više godina neki župljani ne pridižu svoje koverte koje kroz par mjeseci oko Božića stoje na ulazu u crkvu. Molimo vas da pridignete koverte, a trebate li broj, nazovite župsku tajnicu.

DOČEK JUBILARNE NOVE GODINE

U organizaciji župskog Obiteljskog društva “Kardinal Stepinac” sprema se doček Nove Godine u našemu župskom centru u četvrtak 31. prosinca. Zabavljat će nas na daleko poznata grupa “Majstori” iz Chicaga.
Program započinje u crkvi u 6:30PM svetom Misom zahvale za prošlu godinu. Poslije Mise služi se predjelo i piće. Večera je u 8:00, a zatim slijedi novogodišnja zabava i ples do zore.
Vjerujemo da nećete propustiti ovo slavlje, jer ovogodišnjim dočekom Nove Godine službeno započinje dugo najavljivana proslava stogodišnjice naše hrvatske župe.
Doprinos za večeru i zabavu je $75, za djecu do 17 godina $40, a samo za ples $25. Rezervacije primaju Vlasta Lebo (818) 548-2643 i Nancy Brkić (213)628-2938.

RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS

Second collection will be taken at all the Masses next Sunday, December 13th.

CHILDREN’S MASS & CHRISTMAS PARTY
