I pray these lines find all doing well. I pray you all had a great Thanksgiving and I’m wondering if you are in shock like I am – the time is passing so fast it is amazing that Advent is here, and Christmas is upon us. We hear this weekend about a great man, John the Baptist. John was and is an amazing example for us to model our lives around. Every aspect of his life pointed towards being open to God. This man came from a well to do family, yet he gave all that up to listen to and be led by the promptings of God, who led John into the desert. In our world it is so easy to get caught up in various distractions, sports, politics, the newest music and performers or maybe its television or movies. All of the afore mentioned are larger than life and can draw us so easily away from what truly matters which is our relationship with God. This is the beauty of John the Baptist – he was out in the desert, there were no distractions, his was a life of simplicity. Simplicity and quiet is what is needed for us to connect and hear what God wants to speak to us. I pray that your shopping is already done. More times than not I am done by Thanksgiving – This AIN’T one of those times. LOL Have a great week! God Bless You! Love, Fr. Mike

RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process of initiation by which individuals are fully received into the Catholic Church through the reception of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist or Communion. This process begins September 12th.

Dear Parishioners, The celebration of the Eucharist is the center of the entire Christian life both for the Church universally and for the local congregation of the Church. All the other sacraments, all the ministries of the Church, and the works of the apostolate are united with the Eucharist and are directed towards it. The Holy Eucharist contains the entire spiritual treasures of the Church, that is, Christ Himself, our Passover and living bread. Therefore, veneration and adoration which is due to God himself, has always been customary in the Catholic Church. We will be adding an additional opportunity for Exposition of the Holy Eucharist. Besides First Friday after Mass we will now be having Eucharist Adoration on Monday evening between 7 and 8 PM and will be conducted by the Deacons of Incarnation Parish. Please come and spend some time with Our Lord in silence. Blessings, Deacon Jim
