Those of us who are a few years more than 12 will remember Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. I was in Italy when his TV show was the most popular in the United States, but we heard of him; and he was on national TV, NOT on EWTN! Of course, today no one would dare give him the time of day. After all, he was faithful to the Church and today, the usual suspects would scream “division of church and state!” as though the secular airwaves were state-sponsored (or are they?).

Our annual Christmas Novena is underway and there are many evenings left for you to join in this beautiful time of preparation for Christmas. The Novena is on Saturday and Sunday at 6:00 pm and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 pm, and on Christmas Eve we will pray the Novena prayers at 3:30 pm and again at 11:15 pm.
Christ is born, no need to mourn. Christ is here, no need to fear. Rejoice every heart! As we celebrate Christ’s birth, once again, we repeat to you, with all our hearts: “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy … for today in the city of David a Savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord!” Your priests pray that you and your family will embrace the holiness and joy that the Lord Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, alone can give.

The other day, I heard of a new Christmas ad, which appeared on city buses in some states. The ad shows a couple of smiling young people, all decked out, with presents in the background. The caption says: “No God? No problem!”

Our Christmas Novena begins on Wednesday, December 16th, and concludes on Christmas Eve. The Novena starts each evening at 6:30 pm (6:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 19th and 20th). We will have special Novena prayers and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and will finish at 7:00 pm. Confessions will be heard in the church many evenings of the Novena, beginning at 6:30 pm. Christmas Novena envelopes are available at the church entrance, just fill one out with the names of the loved ones whom you wish to include in the prayer intentions of our Novena, return it to the parish by December 16th, and we will place their names upon the altar for our nine days of Benediction and prayer.
