*ST. NICHOLAS DAY. December 6 was St. Nicholas Day, so today after mass, St. Nick is coming to make our children happy with small gifts. After the mass, the students of the Croatian School will perform their short recital in the church hall, and after receiving the gifts, kids and adults will have a chance to spend some time together enjoying coffee and desserts and playing PS5, ping-pong and foosball.
*CATECHISM CLASSES FOR THE COMMUNICANDS AND CONFIRMANDS. This week the confirmands will have their catechism class on Friday, December 13 at 7:30 p.m., and the communicands on the next Friday, December 20 at 7:30 p.m. in our church. Attending Sunday Mass is standard part of preparations for the sacraments as well as the third God's Commandment.
*CHRISTMAS CONFESSION DAY. It will be on Wednesday, December 18 at 6:00 p.m. There will be two priests available: myself and pastor of Croatian parish in Montreal. There is an opportunity to have confession in Croatian or English language. After the confession, there will be mass at 7:00 p.m. None of the faithful should meet Christmas without sacramental confession unless there is a grave reason. Let's all come together and have a good spiritual preparation for Christmas. Also remember to register your sick and elderly for home visit, so priest can come, hear confession and bring Holy Communion to them before Christmas.
*NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY. Our parish will organize New Year's Eve Party with live music, dinner and dancing. Ticket price: adults $90, students $60, children under 6 for free. Ticket price includes a dinner and a midnight buffet. Live music will be performed by our local band, T. S. Melodije. Ticket reservations: Parish office (613-722-7135) and Vinko Marinković (613-822-3321).
*POSSIBILITY OF REMOTE DONATIONS. Preparations for Christmas usually includes giving an annual family gift for the Church. Due to Canada Post strike, mailing cheques is not possible at this point. If you are not able to bring your gift in person, there is a possibility of remote donation by e-transfer to leopoldmandic@rogers.com. Thank you everybody who contributes for the needs of the Church.
