Second Sunday of Advent

December 7, 2025

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings,

Mass for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception will be tomorrow at 12 p.m.

Our Sister in Christ, Rose Costanzo, passed from this life the last week in November.  She was a parishioner for many years and a beloved member of our community.  Her Funeral Mass will be on Saturday, December 13th at 1 p.m.  All are invited to come.  There are now updated plans for the retreat and Reconciliation Service on the same day.  Our Annual Advent Retreat will be on December 13th from 8:30 a.m. - 11 a.m.  More information can be found on the other page of this bulletin and we are asking that if you are planning on attending you email Sister Anns James (anns@stelizcc.org) so that materials can be provided for everyone.

The Communal Reconciliation Service will be from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.  The Liturgy/prayer service will start at 11 a.m. and will be followed by individual confessions until 11:45 a.m.  We will have additional priests from different parishes in the Richmond Diocese visiting to hear confessions.

I would like to thank everyone who helped with Homecoming on November 23rd.  We had a wonderful Mass, reception and raffle drawing thanks to so many ministry members and volunteers.

The Christmas schedule is on the other page of this bulletin.  Please write these dates in your calendar to save the date!

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
