Fourth Sunday of Advent

News and Notes:  Don’t forget one final opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation before Christmas:  Monday, December 21 from 6:30-7:30PM.  Fr. Tony will be in the Reconciliation Room at OLA; I will be at SMG.  Congratulations all the children who participated in the OLA School production of the Villain’s School on the weekend of December 4-6 in the OLA Church Hall.  It was a very enjoyable and entertaining play.  Also, kudos to Fr. Tony, Donna Hegan, Tara DiFelice and all those involved in the delightful Breakfast with Santa (St. Nicholas) event on December 5 at SMG.  If you want to make a Christmas donation to your particular parish, please mark that gift accordingly on an envelope or check, and that money, once it is received, will be used exclusively in your parish.  Otherwise, all other funds collected at the liturgies on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be directed to the Clergy Funds, to support the priests of the Archdiocese of Boston in their retirement, medical and financial needs.  Fr. Tony and I thank you for your generosity to this particular collection and wish you all a blessed Christmas and peaceful New Year!
