AAA Word From the Pastor December 8th is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As you well know, it is a Holy Day of Obligation. However, because the Feast falls on the Second Sunday of Advent this year, the celebration of the Feast Day is transferred by the Church to Monday, December 9 but NOT the obli-gation to attend Mass on December 9. Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 AM as usual. Thank you to all who took tags from the Giving Tree last weekend. If you missed the tree last weekend, you can still take a tag this weekend but PLEASE return all gifts by next weekend, December 14-15 so that the gifts can be distributed in time for Christmas. Participating in the Giving Tree Project sponsored by the Parish Social Ministry is an excellent way to show a thankful spirit for the blessings we have re-ceived in our lives. Please see the announcement printed elsewhere in the bulletin for additional infor-mation. The Religious Retirement Collection will take place THIS WEEKEND in all the parishes of the Dio-cese of Rockville Centre. Our continued goal is to provide financial assistance for the challenges that our religious face because of the rising cost of healthcare. This collection helps to fund daily essentials like prescription medications and nursing care. Over 30,000 other senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and reli-gious order priests outside the Diocese of Rockville Centre will benefit from the Retirement Fund for Religious. Most ministered in Catholic schools, hospitals, parishes, and social service agencies, usually for little or no pay. Today, hundreds of religious communities lack adequate savings for retirement and eldercare. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious offers vital support for necessities, such as medications and nursing care. Mark your calendars and plan to attend the pasta dinner on Monday, December 16. All are invited, but PLEASE, PLEASE RSVP by calling the Rectory Office at 516-921-2334 to make your reservation. The din-ner will be prepared and offered by the seventh and eighth level in HNJ's Religious Education Program. The meal will be prepared, cooked and supervised by their catechists, Deacon Chris Sisinni and Lori Krotz. Proponents of doctor assisted suicide are pushing their agenda in states across the country, and New York State is in their sights. They seek to make it legal for terminally ill patients to receive life-ending drugs. These policies are dangerous for patients, caregivers, and vulnerable populations such as the elderly and persons who are disabled. SUICIDE IS NOT MEDICAL CARE. Please tell your Senate and Assembly representatives that you oppose this dangerous and deadly practice. Take action by signing one of the following online petitions:www.nyscatholic.org/nys-catholic-conference-action-center/www.NYagainstAS.com

FOCUS: Lord, you came to establish your kingdom of
justice and peace. We know that we have failed to live
up to your call. Like those who came to John the
Baptist, we now ask for the grace to turn away from si
and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ in our
lives. In the first reading, a prophet looks forward to an ideal king. His kingdom will be filled with divine wisdom. In the second reading, we receive assurance that God will
help us work together for the good of all. In the Gospel,
John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus by preaching the need for repentance and ritualizing that need through baptism. Published by Franciscan Media
