Second Sunday of Advent
December 9, 2012
Join us for Deacon Bob Grimaldi’s Farewell
Reception
“A voice of one crying out in
the desert: “Prepare the
way of the Lord, make
straight his paths. Every
valley shall be filled and
every mountain and hill
shall be made low. The
winding roads shall be made
straight, and the rough
ways made smooth, and all
flesh shall see the salvation
of God.”
Luke 3:6 Please make plans to join us for a farewell reception for our beloved Deacon Bob Grimaldi on Sunday, December 16 after the 9am and 11am Masses. Deacon Bob and his family have been active parishioners since October of 2002. Deacon Bob was ordained in February of 2011 and has touched us with his sincere love of God ever since. Deacon Bob has been involved in several ministries here at St. Brendan’s, especially administering the Eucharist to the sick and elderly. He has presided over many baptisms and spent many hours working with our Youth Faith Formation programs. Deacon Bob and his family have been blessed with a business opportunity for Bob and have relocated to Dawsonville. He has been assigned to continue God’s work at St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church in Dahlonega. We will certainly miss him as a deacon, but know that he will continue to be a role model for how we are called to live as Disciples of Christ. Cookies...Cookies…& More – FREE chances to win

CANASTA DE PETICIONES DE ORACIÓN
Nuestra comunidad parroquial hispana y sus
grupos de oración han preparado una
“Canasta de Oración” para nuestros hermanos feligreses y sus familias. Durante la
temporada de Adviento (una etapa de preparación y espera) la canasta estará localizada
a la entrada de la Iglesia para que ustedes
puedan poner sus peticiones de oración en
ella. Así mismo, les invitamos a tomar una
de las tarjetas de petición de oración y rece
por esa intensión especial. Esta es una manera maravillosa de unir a nuestra comunidad parroquial en oración durante esta temporada de Adviento, el Festejo a la Virgen de
Guadalupe y nuestra espera de la llegada de
Nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo.
