St. Andrew is a faith community
baptized into one body, which honors and
celebrates diversity. We welcome and include persons of every color, language,
ethnicity, origin, ability, sexual orientation,
gender expression, marital status,
and life situation.
La Parroquia de San Andrés es una
comunidad bautizada en un cuerpo, que
honra y celebra la diversidad. Acogemos a
las personas de todos colores, lenguas,
razas, origenes, habilidades, orientación
sexual, estado civil y estilos de vida.
Parish Mission
St. Andrew Parish recognizes that, as Jesus Christ was
sent by God to
“bring the good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to
captives,and to the blind new sight, to set the downtrodden free, to proclaim the Lord’s year of favor,”
(Luke 4:18)
La Parroquia de San Andrés reconoce que, así como
Jesús fue enviado por Dios
“para traer la Buena Nueva a los pobres, para anunciar
libertad a los cautivos, y a los ciegos nueva luz. Poner en
libertad a los oprimidos y proclamar el año de gracia del
Señor,”(San Lucas 4:18)
....so it is the mission of St. Andrew Parish to be a visible
presence of Christ in our culturally and racially diverse
neighborhood, rooted in the Gospel and nurtured by
liturgy, prayer, and the community of faith. As such we
commit ourselves to work with the poor, the powerless, and the oppressed for the liberation of all; to seek
justice, compas- sion, and peace in our lives, community,
and world; and to proclaim and celebrate God’s unconditional love for all.
....También es la misión de la Parroquia de San Andrés, el
ser presencia visible de Cristo en nuestra comunidad
con diversidad de razas y culturas, enraizada en el Evangelio y alimentada por la liturgia, la oración, y la comunidad
de fe. Como iglesia, nos comprometemos a trabajar con
los pobres, los desamparados y oprimidos,
por la liberación de todos; para buscar justicia, compasión, paz en nuestras vidas, en la comunidad y en
el mundo entero, y para proclamar y celebrar el amor
incondicional de Dios para todos.

Second Sunday of Advent
Announcement
PREPARE YE!
Prepare ye a way for the Lord! John
runs before the Lord, baptizes for repentance, and proclaims that the kingdom of heaven is nearby. All this brings
us hope for God’s help, help, not just
in our daily lives but also for our entry
into paradise. When the root of Jesse
blossoms, all is possible because the
Lord Jesus comes to save us for God.
Our Redeemer and Savior restores all
to its place. Ecce Agnus Dei!

ADVENT
The Advent Wreath
Perhaps the best-known of all Advent
symbols is the Advent wreath, a custom
which originated among German Lutherans but was soon adopted by Catholics.
Consisting of four candles (three purple
and one pink) arranged in a circle with
evergreen boughs (and often a fifth, white
candle in the center), the Advent wreath
corresponds to the four Sundays of
Advent. The purple candles represent the
penitential nature of the season, while the
pink candle calls to mind the respite of
Gaudete Sunday. (The white candle, when
used, represents Christmas.)

L’ARCHE CHRISTMAS TREES
We are excited to announce our 27th Annual Christmas Tree Sale, Nov. 20 to Dec. 20.
With two convenient tree lots in the Hollywood and
Montavilla neighborhoods, you're sure to find a great
tree and help L'Arche Portland transform the lives of people
with and without intellectual disabilities. Our trees are locally
grown and freshly cut, featuring a wide variety of Noble,
Douglas, Grand, and Nordmann firs from tabletop to 10 feet.
During this season of giving, remember to purchase your tree
from L'Arche Portland, and help keep our homes warm in
winter, lit in darkness and alive with hospitality!
CATHOLIC WOMEN PREACH
Catholic Women Preach is an innovative project designed
to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the
Church today by responding to Pope Francis’ call for broader
and more active engagement of the baptized in the preaching mission of the Church. This project is a deeply faithful,
hopeful and joyful initiative intended to build up the Church.
A project of global reach, Catholic Women Preach uses
modern technology to bring the voices of diverse Catholic
women to the proclamation of the Gospel through webbased resources.
Following the liturgical year, Catholic women will reflect on
how the texts relate to all Catholics today with a special emphasis on the lives of women, their apostolic call, and their
roles in the Church and the world.
Their preaching will highlight women traditionally omitted or
misrepresented in our lectionary and open the Scripture texts
to deepen our understanding of God’s saving presence in the
world. Those who view these preaching videos will have the
opportunity to see the deep spirituality of Catholic women
who preach. Go to: www.catholicwomenpreach.org
HELP the FOOD PANTRY
We need canned fruit. Right now, they have to buy all canned
fruit. Please bring a can of fruit and place it in the basket at
the ambo during the collection or put it in the barrels at the
entrance to the church. Thank you.
CHILDREN'S CHOIR

and helping to keep the children in

Bautizos:
The Certainty of Now
Preparación pre-bautismal es cada segundo
sábado de mes a las
7pm. Y los bautizos son
cada cuarto domingo
del mes (excepto durante cuaresma). Llame
a Diana al 503-281-4429 ext 17 para
registrarse.
There shall be no harm nor ruin on all my holy mountain.
Not there is, but there shall be. Oh couldn’t you cry? Shall.
Will. On that day. Future tense. Justice shall flower in his days.
Shall…Which means—what? That we are still burdened with
the present inadequacies and even the present idiocies of the
human condition, its pain and dislocation. That we have still
to walk on roads pot-holed with wars and after-wars; that we
have to live with the memories we wish were not.
But, listen. Our impressions of time are unreliable: Then. Now. Not yet. But
we are misled. We think then: God has entered and captured the human condition.
He has accomplished his Great Work. Now; we are caught in the tangles and shards
of what we have made of that adventure. Not yet: Tomorrow. Someday.
But what if…What if not yet is already here, dark and smudged and incomprehensible. But here. What if not yet is already now. What if Advent is a hand reaching through a bank of fog, holding together, all at once, what we think of as then
and not yet.
In the Now. What if the glory that is to come is already here, and the fullness of
the Adventure is resting in our hearts no matter how dim and confused and unsatisfactory that rest is feeling. Hold out your heart. The unfelt certainty of now rests
lightly there. What has been and is and will be: the now that is forever.
Sr. Miriam Pollard, OCSO, is a Sister of Santa Rita Abbey in Sonoita, Arizona.
