Congratulations to the children who received the Sacra-ment of Reconciliation for the first time this Saturday! Thank you to all the volunteer catechists, ICS teachers and staff who helped in making it a special day for them and their families.

“An Incarnation Christmas – A Celebration of our fami-lies Christmas” our concert will begin at 5PM in the church, followed by a “Pot Luck” Dinner in St. Michael’s Hall. This year our Parish Music Ministry has been pre-paring for a wonderful Christmas Concert along with the Faith Formation Team to make this a multicultural event and a special time where all parish and school families can gather together to sing Christmas Carols, celebrate the birth of Christ, and have a pot luck supper afterwards. We invite you to dress your children as angels or shep-herds so they can participate with the narrative during the concert. REMINDER!! Confirmation Workshop 2 is this Wednesday, Dec. 14th.

“AN INCARNATION CHRISTMAS
- A CELEBRATION OF OUR FAMILIES CHRISTMAS”
CONCERT
&
POTLUCK
WHEN: Sunday, December 18, 2011
TIME: Concert begins at 5pm, Pot luck dinner to follow
WHERE: Concert in the Church, Pot luck dinner in St. Michael’s Hall
COST: None-bring a dish you would like to share with others-something that
tells us a bit about your own Christmas traditions.
The Incarnation Parish Theatre Ministry group will join in this concert with a visual narrative of the Nativity story during the concert. We invite you to join us this night as we re-tell the Christmas story. Dress your children in your home made angel or shepherd costumes, so that they can be part of the narrative during the concert! This can be another wonderful opportunity as a parish to prepare ourselves to celebrate the birth of our Lord!
Afterwards, we invite you to bring a dish that you would like to share with others, something that you feel captures the traditions of your own family Christmas meal. This will be a good time to get to know one another and share our unique family traditions that have been passed down to us. Come and join us, bring your family, bring a friend, help us to share the Spirit of the Season!
May your Advent journey be a blessing to you and your family!

ADVENT PENANCE SERVICES We will be having three Penance Services THIS week. Monday, Dec. 12 - 7pm - Incarnation Tuesday, Dec 13 - 7pm - Christ the King Wed., Dec.14 - 7pm - St Lawrence We encourage all of our parishioners to take advantage of this opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at this peniten-tial period of Advent.
Remember your loved ones - both living and deceased at ALL Christmas Masses. List the names of your loved ones on the envelopes and place in the collection basket. There is no suggested offering; any donation will gladly be accepted.
Christmas Spiritual Bouquet Envelopes are available at the front entrance of the church and in the pews. They are also available at the Parish Office during the week. Mass Cards are available at the Religious Articles Store and the Parish Office.
“The Giving Tree in the Church Foyer” Help the less fortunate by selecting a Heifer card from the giving tree in our church foyer and leave your donation at the faith formation office or church office. Your donation can help to purchase a cow, pig, or goat for families in third world countries to improve their nutrition and generate income in a sus-tainable way. The Heifer program gives people the means to feed themselves, it refers to the animals as "living loans" because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its ani-mal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift – a cornerstone of our mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace.
