These ornaments are on the Senior Ministry’s annual “Christmas Wish Tree” set up in the

fortunate individuals please take a snowflake, purchase a gi and return both to the Parish
Office or Bookstore before December 21st. Also, should you know of anyone who might fit
the criteria please contact Stephanie at 775-338-5557 or Ed at 775-240-0328 as soon as
possible and we will be sure to include their name on an ornament.
Thank you and may God bless you!

‘Gaudete
Sunday’
Today we light the pink candle on the Advent
wreath. Rose vestments are worn to emphasize our
joy that Christmas is near. Gaudete mean ‘rejoice’.
This day reminds us of the joy that is to come and
serves, amid this season of penance, as a kind of
‘break’ when we recall the hope we have because of
the coming of Our Lord Jesus.

IMPORTANT MISSING LINE
On Dec. 8th a class was held for all
volunteers in St. Thomas Aquinas parish.
The MANDATORY REQUIREMENT of
this Diocese and the USCCB, and of this
parish is to Protect God’s Children.
No one is allowed to be in areas
with children without this class.
OUR GOAL IS WITHIN REACH
There is a real chance that we will make it
this year for the first time in three years.
Christmas is ALMOST HERE!

A policeman in the big city stops a
man in a car with a baby bear in the
front seat. "What are you doing with
that bear?" He exclaimed, "You should
take it to the zoo."
The following week, the same
policeman sees the same man with
the bear again, both of them wearing
sunglasses. The policeman pulls him
over. "I thought you were going to take
that bear to the zoo!"
The man replied, "I did. We had such
a good time we are going to the beach
this weekend!"
We need about $9,000 to meet our target.
Let’s Make It Happen For Christmas.
Memorial Wall
A little over a year ago I asked the parish if you would like to have a
memorial wall behind the statue of Mary in the garden. This wall would be in
remembrance of the parishioners that are now with Our Lord in Heaven. As
many of you stop to visit our Blessed Mother Mary and say a short prayer you
could also pray for the souls of those honored on the wall.
This would be a tribute to the people who will be in our hearts forever
because they were part of our Cathedral community and its growth. The cost
is yet to be determined, the plaque would be a standard 4x7 inches.
Please provide names for those you would like to have remembered.
ENTRADA
Cantemos todos cantemos, cantemos con entusiasmo;
cantemos al rey del cielo que pronto vendrá a salvarnos.
Señor tu pueblo te espera, te espera con alegría; preparándonos estamos para cuando llegue el día.
Señor aquí estamos todos de rodillas hoy estamos;
pidiéndote Señor nuestro que vengas pronto a salvarnos.
SALMO
Grita de alegría, porque grande se ha portado contigo el Santo de Israel.
OFERTORIO
Alegría de esperar que está muy cercano el día, y en la carne de una virgen amanecerás Señor;
y en la carne de una virgen amanecerás Señor.
Nos va a brotar un renuevo que hará florecer la tierra;
se encuentran dolor y gracia, ven Señor, ven Señor Jesús.
Amanecerá tu luz y romperá las tinieblas; danos tu claridad, ven Señor, ven Señor Jesús.
Cuidaremos el camino para cuando al fin tú vengas;
vestido de nuestra carne, ven Señor, ven Señor Jesús.
COMUNIÓN
Amanecerá el Señor, sobre ti Jerusalén.
Amanecerá el Señor, amanecerá sobre ti Jerusalén. (2)
Sobre ti Jerusalén, amanecerá el Señor, amanecerá.
Levanta tu mirada, contempla tu grandeza, tu salvador, tu salvador te viene a liberar.
Sobre ti Jerusalén, una estrella brillará, amanecerá.
La luz de la mañana, la aurora reluciente, tu salvador, tu salvador te viene a liberar.
En Belén nos va a nacer la esperanza de Israel, amanecerá.
Dará la vista al ciego, salud a los enfermos; tu salvador, tu salvador te viene a liberar.
SALIDA
Vendrá el Señor; con su luz nos llenará. Vendrá el Señor a su pueblo salvará. (2)
Él llenará nuestra vida, El colmará nuestro amar.
Él nos alumbra en la noche, nos da fuerza y nos da paz.
Él nos alumbra en la noche; el Señor vendrá. (al estribillo)
Él es consuelo en las penas, Él es la felicidad.
Él nos comprende y nos ama, nos da fuerza y nos da paz.
Él nos comprende y nos ama; el Señor vendrá. (al estribillo)
