Catholic Charities News
Scripture tells us that we Christians are the “adopted sons and
daughters” of God. And, Jesus Christ was the adopted son of
Joseph.
Adoption is a beautiful gift that communicates a choice with
great intention to form an everlasting bond.
Did you know that in the U.S., of all unmarried women who
carry their child to term less than 1% choose to place their children for adoption? This figure is compared to about 9% before
1973.
Please help spread the word that adoption can be a wonderful
way to provide a loving, caring and promising life for child. It is
a choice that everyone can live with.
Visit www.GivingBirthtoHope.org and
www.StElizabethCatholicCharities.org to learn more about
adoption in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

PLANNED GIVING DINNER AT THE RECTORY
Fr. Paul is hosting a dinner party at the new rectory
on January 17th for any parishioners who would like
to join him. Besides an enjoyable meal and general
discussion of the parish, there will also be a
presentation on planned giving. We will limit the
dinner to the first 12 parishioners who sign up. We
still have some openings so please call the parish
office to sign up at 353-9404.
Dear Friends of Holy Spirit,
A very Merry Christmas to all of you!! As we move
into this beautiful season, let us make an extra effort
to show our love to people around us. At the first
Christmas, our Heavenly Father gave to us his most
Precious Gift: His Son! May we share Christ through
our words and actions this Season.
A reminder that our Christmas Mass Schedule
remains the same as last year (4:00, 6:00, 10:00 on
Christmas Eve, and Midnight, 9:30 and 11:30 on
Christmas Day). Midnight and 11:30 are in Spanish,
with the rest in English. 4:00 P.M. on Christmas Eve
is the Mass that is very, very crowded. If you want a
more comfortable congregation size, try one of the
others!
Sunday afternoon, December 23rd, we are arranging
the church for Christmas (3:00 P.M.). We would
appreciate some new helpers, along with the regulars. Please donate a few hours Sunday afternoon
and help make our church more beautiful than it already is!
Christmas afternoon, I will be heading to Louisville,
Kentucky, where I will join many family members for
Christmas. My brother, Joe, and his wife have hosted
Christmas Day for many years and the tradition continues. With Mom’s absence this year, we will
appreciate family even more.
God’s Blessings and Love,
Our family would like to thank all of the people involved in the
visitation, Funeral Mass and Mercy meal for Lawrence Adkins.
May God bless you abundantly for your kindness.
The Adkins Family
NO MORE ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING
We will no longer be collecting aluminum cans on our grounds.
If anyone would like to take the metal bins that are located by
the newspaper recycling, please do so, first come first serve.
We will continue to recycle paper in the green Abitibi containers by the garage. We made $1400 last year in paper recycling, but the aluminum can recycling does not break even
Many people are dropping off other types of recycling
that we do not recycle...please...please...paper is all that
we will be recycling! Thanks for your understanding!
CEMETERY MEMORIAL MASSES
Remembrance Trees will be available at both locations with
ornaments to remember loved ones. We will have a blessing
of the trees following mass. All are welcome to join us.
The Trees will be taken down Monday, January 7, 2013. If you
wish to take home your remembrance bulb please pick it up by
Sunday, January 6, 2013
If you have any questions, please call Susan Meacham at 317574-8898.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
We are still looking for people to drive parishioners to Mass.
We have now received a few responses but not enough to
proceed yet. We realize that it would be hard to commit driving every Sunday, so if you would like to be put on a list to
drive once or twice a month, we will try to get someone to
organize a schedule. Until we get more volunteers, we won’t
be
scheduling anything. Call Quenia at 353-9404 in the Parish
Office (or email is even better at [email protected])
and let her know if you would be willing to drive once or more
per month and let her know which Mass.
ST.VINCENT DE PAUL DISTRIBUTION CENTER
VOLUNTEERS
The Eastside Catholic School Partnership (ECSP) announces a
new website, www.ecspindy.org,
to serve as a resource about the partnership and its four member
schools-Holy Spirit, Little Flower, Our Lady of Lourdes, and
Scecina Memorial High School. The site contains information
about the ECSP, a profile of each member school, links to school
websites, as well as eastside community resources, events, and
news. Also available on the website under “About us” is the
2010-2012 ECSP Accountability Report, which outlines ECSP
activities since its launch in 2010.
SPECIAL BAPTISM CLASSES
Classes begin on January 13, 2013
For children age six and older who have not yet been
baptized. If you would like to register your child for special
baptism or if you have questions, please call the Religious
Education office at 357-6915 as soon as possible.
Holy Spirit recognizes PreK-12 Catholic Education as a ministry to
form young people in spirit, mind, and body. We support this
ministry through Holy Spirit Grade School and Scecina Memorial
High School, our parish High School.
Holy Spirit's regular shift to work at the St. Vincent de
Paul Distribution Center is January 5, 2013. This is a
great way to “give back” at Christmas. PLEASE join us

struggling families in Indianapolis. Call Larry Heil at 6577093 if you have questions.

PARISH NURSE
Please let us know if you are able to transport a fellow parishioner to church occasionally. Call: 353 9404 ext. 8.
If you need a prayer blanket please let us know so we can deliver it to you or a person needing the blanket. Remember to pray
for our prayer blanket recipients.
Did you know that there is a common misconception that people
with high blood pressure will experience symptoms, such as
nervousness, sweating, difficulty sleeping or facial flushing? The truth is HBP is largely a symptomless condition. If you
ignore your blood pressure because you think symptoms will
alert you to the problem, you are taking a dangerous chance
with your life. Everyone needs to know their blood pressure
numbers, and everyone needs to prevent high blood pressure
from developing. Blood Pressure screenings will be first
week-end of each month in the West Vestibule.

This Christmas I wanted to give you an offering of my time. I would like to take
care of the home front for a weekend so that you can attend the Women’s Christ
Renews His Parish Weekend Retreat at Holy Spirit. You will be able to relax, pray,
laugh, reflect, grow stronger in your faith, enjoy many blessings, and enjoy the company of some wonderful women in our parish. Plus you won’t have to cook or clean
all weekend! I hope you will take me up on this because I truly want you to receive
this blessing from me and our Church.

Preparación para la NAVIDAD/Significado del Adviento
La palabra latina "adventus" significa “venida”. En el lenguaje cristiano se refiere a la venida de Jesucristo. La liturgia
de la Iglesia da el nombre de Adviento a las cuatro semanas que preceden a la Navidad, como una oportunidad para
prepararnos en la esperanza y en el arrepentimiento para la llegada del Señor.
Algo que no debes olvidar
El adviento comprende las cuatro semanas antes de la Navidad.
El adviento es tiempo de preparación, esperanza y arrepentimiento de nuestros pecados para la llegada del Señor.
En el adviento nos preparamos para la navidad y la segunda venida de Cristo al mundo, cuando volverá como Rey de
todo el Universo.
Es un tiempo en el que podemos revisar cómo ha sido nuestra vida espiritual, nuestra vida en relación con Dios y convertirnos de nuevo.
Es un tiempo en el que podemos hacer un plan de vida para mejorar como personas.
Cuida tu fe
Esta es una época del año en la que vamos a estar “bombardeados” por la publicidad para comprar todo tipo de cosas, vamos a estar invitados a muchas
fiestas. Todo esto puede llegar a hacer que nos olvidemos del verdadero sentido del Adviento. Esforcémonos por vivir este tiempo litúrgico con
profundidad, con el sentido cristiano.
De esta forma viviremos la Navidad del Señor ocupados del Señor de la Navidad.
