Missionaries of the Precious
Second Sunday of Advent
For us, Christ is everything. We begin each day in
his presence. We are his people, from many walks
of life, and from many nations and languages. We
adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our
ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source
and summit in our life in Christ. Through our
Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to
adults and children, training them in holiness which
calls us to a holy life distinguished, above all, in the
art of prayer. Rising from prayer we minister to the
needs of those who ask our help, with food and
other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward
Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is
everything. If you have a
wound to heal, he is the
doctor; if you are in need of
help, he is strength; if you
fear death, he is life; if you
desire Heaven, he is the way;
if you are in the darkness, he
is light. Blessed are they who
hope in him!

Take a piece from the Holy
Land home with you and to
your dear friends at Christmas
In the past few years there has been a drop in the number
of pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. Since our brothers and
sisters in Bethlehem primarily depend on olive wood
carving they were greatly affected. A group from the Holy
Land will be visiting our church on Saturday and Sunday,
December 10 and 11, after Masses to present their olive
wood religious Christian carvings.
We hope all of you will support our brothers and sisters in
the Holy Land by buying their products which will be the
best gift at Christmas.
