St.
Nicholas was the
Greek Bishop of
Myra (in Lycia, part of modern-day
Turkey) in the early 4th century.
Many miracles are attributed to his
intercession and, over the centuries,
he became a hugely popular saint. He
had a reputation for secret gift-giving,
such as putting coins in the shoes of
those who left them out for him.
That’s how he became a became the
model for Santa Claus, whose English
name comes from the Dutch
Sinterklaas (St. Nick). His feast day is
December 6th.
St. Nicholas is the patron saint of
sailors, merchants, archers, thieves,
pawnbrokers, children, and students
(amongst other things) throughout
Christendom.
On the cover: Amsterdam ar st,
Jan Steen’s St. Nicholas Feast Day,
circa 1663-1665, is available at

First Sunday of Advent
Isaiah 2:1-5 O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk in the light of the
LORD.
Psalms 122:1-9 Pray for the peace
of Jerusalem! May they prosper who
love you!
Romans 13:11-14 Besides this you
know what hour it is, how it is full
time now for you to wake from
sleep.
Matthew 24:37-44 Watch
therefore, for you do not know on
what day your Lord is coming.
11/27/2016
The most famous story about him
involves how he helped a father of
three daughters. The man was so poor
that he couldn't afford a dowry for his
three girls. During those days that
meant they remained unmarried with
a very uncertain future. St. Nick
interceded by secreting donating
3 purses of gold coins over 3 nights,
one for each of the 3 daughters.
In some stories he threw the purses in
through a window to avoid being
identified as the donor, in others he
dropped the money down the
chimney, where it landed, plop, into
the stocking of one of the girls.
That is why Christmas stockings and
gift-giving are associated with the
saint.

Local Appeal for Diocese in Haiti
Shop Here First!
Christmas Spectacular
As you have read, the eye of Matthew
passed over the Southern part of Haiti
and destroyed most of the housing and
the crops in that area. In addition, the
world’s humanitarian aid to help Haiti
recover from Matthew is significantly
below what is needed. Father Paul
Janvier, Associate Priest of Mother of
Mercy Parish, Asbury Park, has been
contacted by the Les Caye diocese and
asked if he can obtain financial aid to
help the dislocated residents. The
diocese plans to distribute aid directly
to the families in Les Caye, regardless
of their religion. St. Catharine’s parish
has been working with Fr. Paul over
the past few years and have offered to
help him raise funds for the Diocese of
Les Caye. If you wish to make a
contribution to the Les Caye Diocese,
please make your checks payable to
St. Catharine’s, at 215 Essex Ave.,
Spring Lake, NJ 07762. Kindly mail in
or drop off at the rectory with the
envelope marked for Haitian Aid. The
parish will forward the funds to the Les
Caye diocese for distribution to the
residents. Thank you!
