PARISH NEWS
A NEW BEGINNING
Advent and the new liturgical year began last weekend and Immaculate Conception will celebrate “The Year of Grace”, with a new parish prayer written by Fr. Tony. You will find this prayer in the back of the Ritual Song hymnals, in the vestibules of the Church, and in the Rectory and School Offices.
ST. VINCENT HOTEL
Thank you to our generous parishioners who, in November, donated 14 buckets of chili soup, 19 cans of vegetables/fruit, eight batches of cookies, $110 in cash, and 25 pairs of gloves! We used some of the money to purchase ingredients to make four buckets of soup.
We also thank everyone who contributed to the December collection for gloves and meat. We received over $632, and were able to purchase 72 pairs of gloves and 43 lbs of pork loin, leaving over $260 to purchase more gloves, cookies, and vegetables. Thanks to the volunteers who manned the vestibule doors last weekend, to everyone who contributed money, and all who contributed gloves – especially the anonymous donor who dropped off a bag with 26 pairs!
PARISH RECONCILIATION SERVICE
There will be a Parish Advent Penance/Reconciliation service on Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 7:00pm in the Church. Four priests will provide the opportunity for private confession.
FREE SPIRITS
The Free Spirits Christmas party will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 13 at 1:00pm in MSH. There will be a $2 gift exchange; men, please mark your gift for a man, and women, mark your gift for a woman.

ROSARY ALTAR
Reasons to attend the Rosary Altar meeting/party on Dec. 19 at 12:00pm: lots of food, fun, favors, Polish Poker, wonderfully tasty side dishes, and a gift exchange. Bring a covered dish and a $3 gift to exchange, and we’ll see you in MSH on the 19th!
RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS
The average Catholic family spends $12 per year on cookies, $21 on potato chips, and $29 on take-out coffee. Donations to the Retirement Fund for Religious average a little more than $1 per year per adult Catholic. The RFR benefits more than 37,000 elderly women and men religious who received only small stipends for their decades of service. Your gift makes a difference! Please give to the second collection this weekend.
GIVING TREE
If you have taken an ornament from the Giving Tree, please return your gift with the ornament attached no later than Sunday, December 17, so that we can have the gifts delivered by Christmas. Thank you! If you have questions, please call Ann Gibson at 472-2664.

The next EdChoice application period will run from Jan. 27, 2007 – Apr. 20, 2007 for the 2007-2008 school year. Eligibility for a scholarship is determined by attendance and/or assignment to a school that has been rated in “academic emergency” or “academic watch” for the past three years. A list of these schools is posted on the EdChoice website at http://EdChoice.Ohio.gov, or you may call the school office at 253-8831.
CHILDRENS’ NATIVITIES
Local school children used pictures to show the “Nativity Through Children’s Eyes”, now on display at the UD Marian Library.

Looking for a great gift idea? Entertainment Books for 2007 will be sold after all masses each weekend in December.

The last meeting in this series of focus and forum groups will be presented on Thursday, Dec. 14 at 7:00pm in St. Rita Church, Lampe Hall. All are welcome to participate, and you will have the opportunity to evaluate the proposed model through a survey after hearing the details and discussion points at the forum.
