SACRED HEART’S
ANNUAL
CHRISTMAS
DINNER, 12-4pm
Each year
Sacred Heart and the
Hackett Family host a
wonderful Christmas
Dinner for the needy in
our Parish and
Community. Sacred Heart School collects gifts for the
children and we provide a traditional Christmas
Dinner and gifts to the children that attend. We are
asking the Parish Community for new soccer balls,
footballs, wiffle balls and bats, blankets, and cash
donations are also accepted. Gifts may be dropped
off at the Parish office. This is a time that we are
grateful for our family and friends. Let’s share our
good fortune with some of the people in the
community that are not able to have a Christmas with
all of the food and gifts! For more information, please
Beloved Community of Sacred Heart Parish
and School,
Have you ever come to Church on Christmas and seen how full it is with so many people? It’s wonderful isn’t it? Or, maybe a family is sitting in the place where you usually sit, or it’s hard to find a seat. Imagine Joseph and Mary trying to find a little space for the birth of their child. All through Advent we’ve been preparing and waiting, and now it is time for the child to be born to us, for Emmanuel to come. Let’s find room for Him, and for each other. Let’s welcome the beautiful and tender Little One into our hearts and into our midst. Open up and make a place, because something wonderful is happening! Someone wonderful is coming to be with us, to be our light, to be our joy, to be Our Savior. Come, let’s fill His Church, and raise our voices with songs of praise and delight, for unto us a Child has been born, a Savior has come! He is Christ, the Lord!
Wishing you a holy Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The Sacred Heart Parish Staff
Querida Comunidad de La Iglesia y
Escuela del Sagrado Corazón,
¿Alguna vez usted ha asistido a unaMisa en el día de Navidad y ha visto llena la Iglesia? Que emoción, ¿no? O posiblemente encuentra una familia sentada donde normalmente se sienta, o es muy difícil encontrar un lugar para sentarse. Imagínese como se sent-ían José y María al tratar de encontrar un lugarcito para que naciera su bebé. Durante Adviento hemos preparado y esperado la llegada de ese Hijo, el momento de recibir al Emmanuel. Los invito a que hagamos un lugarcito para Él y para cada uno de nosotros. Recibamos a este precioso niño tan tierno en nuestros corazones y en nuestro hogar. Abramos nuestros corazones para recibir este maravilloso ser que está por nacer. Alguien especial, está por llegar a nosotros, nuestra luz, nuestro gozo, nuestro salvador. ¡Vengan! Llenemos Su casa y elevemos nuestras voces con cánticos de alabanza y gozo porque ha nacido el Salva-dor Cristo Jesús.
Deseándoles una santa Navidad y un feliz año Nuevo.

We don’t always “come toward the light” (John 3:20). Sometimes we prefer the darkness. We might fear being condemned if our deeds are brought to light or we may simply be unable to find our way in the dark. We need the light of Christ to help us believe once more in God’s merciful love. Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
