FATHER HANSEN’S CORNER
This week on Tuesday we’ll celebrate a very special feast in the Church—Our Lady of Guadalupe. In 1531 the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to now Saint Juan Diego with a message for the people. Here is part of what she said: "My dear li le son, I love you. I desire you to know who I am. I am the ever-virgin Mary, Mother of the true God who gives life and maintains its existence. He created all things. He is in all places. He is Lord of Heaven and Earth. I desire a church in this place where your people may experience my compassion. All those who sincerely ask my help in their work and in their sorrows will know my Mother's Heart in this place. Here I will see their tears; I will console them and they will be at peace. So run now to Tenoch tlan and tell the Bishop all that you have seen and heard." The wooden statue we have in the ves bule of Our Lady of Guadalupe is available for our devo on. Even though a trip to Mexico City to see the famous lma of Saint Juan Diego - where Mary’s image is permanently pre-served - is not possible for everyone, we can all pray before the statue and light candles asking for Mary’s intercession. On Wednesday of this week, December 13th, Matachines dancers will honor the Virgin Mary with in-digenous tradi ons here at Corona on. Although the Feast will have been the day before (where the dancers will be honoring Mary at parishes that have regular Masses in the Spanish language), on Wednesday at 6:15pm they will honor Mary here. The dancers will con-
nue briefly a er the 6:30pm Mass and we’ll have a re-cep on in the parish hall about 7:15pm. All are wel-come. Come enjoy this unique part of the culture of the Americas and of our Catholic Faith! ~ Fr. Hansen
Advent Confessions Prepare for Christmas by going to confession on December 20th. There will be three priests at our parish to hear confes-sions beginning at 6pm and will be heard thru 7:30pm or un l all have been heard.

As Jesus reminds us that he is the vine and we are the branches, and it is the branches through whose nourishment enlivens the vine, so it is with parish ministries and organiza ons. There are many ministries and organiza ons by which our parish is enriched – some of which require occasional par cipa on, and others which entail regular service. One does not become a parishioner simply by a ending Sunday Mass. Your involvement in one of these ministries and organiza ons will not only enrich your life, but it will also vitalize the communion of faith we enjoy at Corona on of Our Lady.

Junior Legion of Mary Praesidium The Junior Legion is an organiza on for the spiritual develop-ment of persons under 18 years of age. Universi es and Semi-naries have groups, too for the college age students. These are considered Senior Legion of Mary adult groups. All Legion of Mary groups, both Senior and Junior, are all run basically the same, with the excep on of the works, which are maturity- and age-appropriate. Each group which is called a praesidium, is run under the guidance of a spiritual director, who is usually a priest or deacon, or in some cases a religious (consecrated) Brother or Sister.
What Benefits Can the Junior Legion of Mary Bring? TO OUR PARISH: It forms a spiritual army of youth within any parish. Many worthwhile tasks are performed, which would otherwise be neglected. As a consequence, more blessings are earned, more graces are gained, and more souls are saved. TO OUR YOUTH: A unique opportunity for spiritual growth is given. No other organiza on offers a daily program of prayer, a weekly work assignment and the discipline of a mee ng each week. In crucial years when forma on is so essen al, the Jun-ior Legion develops confidence and spiritual and mental growth of the personality. Junior Legionaries stand to gain for everything they freely give in service to Mary. TO OUR CHURCH: Lay Apostles are wanted and needed. A firm spiritual founda on given to our youth will insure a source of supply of Lay Apostles for years to come. As Junior Legionaries, our youth are taught to give to their Church as produc ve members, rather than to wait for what they can receive. The Junior Legion forms good Catholics now, and be er Catholics tomorrow. **A er offering this idea up in prayer, Fr. Hansen has chosen to have the youth decide on the name of their Praesidium at their first mee ng on Wednesday, January 10. 7:10-8:10pm. Mary has many names to choose from so do your homework. Youth ages 13-18 are invited to a end. Deacon Mike will be the spiritual leader for this organiza on.

From Death to New Life
Parish Memorials Parish members have asked about how to designate financial memorials. Here are some examples: Capital Improvement Fund This fund is specific and is dedicated to the improvement, not the maintenance of the parish property and facili es. It is with-in the scope of this fund to assist in, not fund, the replacement of roofs, windows, carpe ng, hea ng, plants, office equip-ment, etc. Renova on Fund This fund is specific in vision and long term. The celebra on of the liturgy is the primary reason for the existence of a parish and occasionally the parish structures may be in need of a cos-me c renewal. Addi ons to either fund can be made in the forms of stock, cash or bequests in memory of family members or friends. Monies designated for this purpose cannot be used for capital improvements or for other obliga ons. Golden Leaf Tree Located in the ves bule, leaves are engraved with your loved ones’ name and date of death. Memory Garden Walkway Bricks line our garden path with names of parishioners and loved ones. Contact Preston in the office @ 816-761-8811. Pray for the Sick
