"Bambinelli Sunday"

It's Bring Your Bay Jesus To Church Sunday - NEXT SUNDAY, December 10-11 - the 3rd Sunday of Advent marks Pope St. John Paul II's beloved tradition of 'Bambinelli Sunday.'
Pope St. John Paul, II began this tradition early in his papacy when he invited the children of Rome to assemble in St. Peter’s Square on the Third Sunday of Advent. He asked them to bring from their homes a little statue of the baby Jesus that would be placed into the Nativity set at home. He blessed these figures and asked the families to assemble before the manger scene in their home in a spirit of prayer.
Both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis have continued this tradition, it is extending beyond the boundary of Rome, and next weekend we will inaugurate this tradition at our parish. We invite you to bring the statue of the Infant Christ next Sunday for a special blessing.

 On behalf of Fr. Leo, Fr. Don, our Deacons, and staff, we are so grateful for the support you express to your parish through your weekly contributions – particularly through ONLINE GIVING. Now that the Season of Fall is here, with Winter right around the corner, the parish still has seasonal and parish utilities expenses.
Thus, your consistent financial support of YOUR parish is vital to achieving our stewardship mission. The easiest way to be sure that your gift of treasure reaches us, even when you cannot be here, is through enrollment in our electronic offertory program: "MY VANCO".
If you have not yet enrolled in "My VANCO", I encourage you to consider doing so by clicking ON THE ABOVE IMAGE. Once you have enrolled, you can relax knowing that ANNUNCIATION Church will receive your gifts throughout the year. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!
