SUNDAY OF THE FOREFATHERS

(Scriptural text below taken from www.usccb.org/bible, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)

EPISTLE: COLOSSIANS 3:4-11

When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory. Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God* is coming [upon the disobedient]. By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way. But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.

GOSPEL: LUKE 14:16-24He replied to him, “A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many. When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his servant to say to those invited, ‘Come, everything is now ready.’ But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, ‘I have pur-chased a field and must go to examine it; I ask you, consider me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have purchased five yoke of oxen and am on my way to evaluate them; I ask you, consider me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have just married a woman, and therefore I cannot come.’ The servant went and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house in a rage command-ed his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ The servant reported, ‘Sir, your orders have been car-ried out and still there is room.’ The master then ordered the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled. For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.’”******************************************************************************************** Happy Birthday to our parishioners: December 3 – JoAnn Faix ; December 8 – Linda Rabayda; December 11 – John Surmay; December 12 – Richard Grimes ; December 14 – Jessica Longoria and Bert Winn; December 18 – Sean Grimes; December 23 – Luciana Marmol’; December 29 – Ryan Grimes Happy Anniversary to: December 1 – Dcn.

Our Greek Catholic Union lodge invites you to enjoy its event today at the parish hall right after Divine Liturgy! As we enjoy a free light luncheon, the Gingerbread Man will be available to take pictures with you and a prize will be given to the favorite cookie of our event! And more awaits you, such as COOKIE DECORATING/ GAMES WITH PRIZES/ SILENT AUCTION/ RAFFLE PRIZES. All net proceeds will go to support Andre’s House, a charity that attends to the home-less population of our area! To this end, donations of cash, knapsacks, socks, toiletries, and sleeping bags are welcome. For more information, call Joanie Mahar at (602) 920-0607. ***********************************************************************************************ALSO TODAY, come and learn to sing and chant in the Byzantine way!

Please note that a workshop will be made available to you December 16 to learn more about our beautiful and venerable Byzantine chant. Kindly stay in our cathedral after Divine Liturgy on these dates to listen, learn, and let go your voice to the Lord! Perhaps we can identify a future cantor or chorister or two to keep our Byzantine chant going.

LAST CHANCE for our Pirohi & Nut, Apricot, Poppy Seed, and Date Nut Rolls!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to purchase and pick up our pirohi and kolachi (i.e., our rolls). That includes any pre-ordered goods not picked up already! Please call the Parish Office at (602) 943-5379 to make arrangemtns for pick up, if necessary. Pirohi are $10 a dozen and our rolls are at $12 each (nut and date nut) and $10 each (apricot and poppy seed). Take a break from shopping & decorating: Clean your SOUL for Christmas!*************************************************************************************************Together, our Eastern Catholic priests in the Phoenix area are making themselves available to help YOU give to Jesus the gift that HE wants for Christmas – a clean heart and soul – on Wednesday, December 19 at 7 p.m. here at our Cathedral as we pray and sing Vespers with confessions avail-able before, during, and afterwards. *************************************************************************************************Let’s get ready “Byzantinely” to greet each other at Christmas!

As we greet each other usually with “Glory to Jesus Christ” and respond with “Glory for-ever”, so during Christmas and Pascha (Easter) seasons, we have ways to share our Byzantine Catholic faith by greeting the people we meet. Thus at Christmastide (from the evening of Dec. 24 to Dec. 31):

English: “Christ is born!” R.: “Glorify Him!”Rusyn: “Christos Razdajetsja!” (Kris-TOS Raz-DAH-yet-sya!) R: “Slavite Jeho!” (Sla-VEE-Te Ye-HO!)Spanish: “!Cristo ha nacido!” (KRIS-to ah na-SEE-doh) R. “!Glorifiquemosle!” (Glo-ri-fi-KAY-mos-leh)*************************************************************************************************Just smell the incense on the airwaves! (Byzantine Radio Programming)

Radio Family Rosary, a program that broadcasts on 1310 A.M., 102.9 F.M. and the Internet at www.radiofamilyrosary.com, will air segments on Byzantine subjects this month! Let us sup-port the coverage given to our parish and Byzantine Catholic Church while learning more about both subjects. On Wed., Dec. 19 from 6 to 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 to 10 a.m., Radio Family Rosary will include a segment about the 50th Anniversary of our Cathedral, featuring the voice of Fr. Rojas. On Mon., Dec. 31 at the same times, a segment will be included that day, this time on the Theoto-kos in Eastern Catholic tradition, again with Fr. Rojas. Let’s help Radio Family Rosary spread the word about our Byzantine Catholic faith by encouraging others to listen with us!

SAVE AN ORNAMENT TO DECORATE OUR PARISH’S CHRISTMAS TREE

Towards the end of St. Philip’s Fast, we ask everyone to please set aside one ornament for the tree due to be placed at your second home, our Cathedral. Thanks in advance!

In addition, we encourage all parishioners to look into the St. Vincent de Paul charity on the sub-ject of helping or even adopting poor and needy families with their Christmas too. *************************************************************************************************Don’t wait until the last minute: Reserve your HOUSE BLESSINGS now!

In the Byzantine-Ruthenian Catholic tradition, homes are blessed by priests in conjunction with the Feast of the Theophany of the Lord on January 6. Should you wish your residence to be blessed, kindly complete the blue card by the bulletins and place it in one of the offering baskets no later than Sun., Dec. 23 so that a schedule may be set forth of house blessings from January 6 to 31. ************************************************************************************************* Also, the Liturgy Intention Book for 2019 is now open!
