[The Angel of the Lord said,] Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus, (Luke 1:31).
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word," (Luke 1:38).
Lay Ministry Schedule
Pro-life Reflection: The good news of Christmas is for everyone,
and especially for the unborn, the most helpless of all. Christ’s birth
was announced first to the lowly, not to the powerful.
Jesus’ ministry continued to follow that pattern: He consis-
tently sought out those who were on the outskirts of
society. We are called to do the same. Prayer: Lord, to
welcome You means to welcome the obligations that Your
mission places on us. This Christmas, I resolve to
intervene for the unborn child. - Fr. Frank Pavone
The Giving Tree Thank you for your generous gifts to
the Catholic Charities outreach, The
Roarke Center. Your gifts will go to
low-income families here in Troy.

Income TaxIncome TaxIncome TaxIncome Tax ---- The Tax Reform Act has passed. In 2018, the standard deduction will increase to $24,000 for married couples filing jointly. This may be the last year for those who itemize deductions on their tax returns to effectively take a deduction for charitable contributions. Forbes says most taxpayers will claim the standard deduction, which means most taxpayers will never itemize deductions again. To be sure you get a Tax deduction for your charitable giving in 2018, donate now and send a check to a charity of choice before the ball drops on 12/31/17.
Attention all volunteers: There is a Christmas gift for you in the Sacristy, in appreciation for sharing your time and talents
