Dear parishioners,
Tomorrow, at the Laredo Center for the Arts, one of our parishioners along with some of her students and community members is putting on an art presentation “Climate Narratives”. The exhibit opens at 5:30p and the artist will speak at 7:30p.

Our New leaven food program can always use volunteers on Saturday morning from 8:30 to 11. We offer on the job training, a chance to do a good deed, and community service for those who need it for school. For more info call Fr. Paul 956-285-2753

Advent begins, Sunday Dec. 1st. It’s a time of joyful anticipation, a time to remember Jesus coming into our world.  During advent we will be doing “Stations of the Nativity” at several times during the weeks before Christmas. More info soon.

Happy Birthday Jesus!!  Last year was our first ever “Happy Birthday Jesus” party and it was a lot of fun. This year Saturday, Dec. 14th we from 4 to 6 we will do it again! It’s Kid friendly with fun carols, a retelling of the Christmas story while the kids set up the Nacimiento, birthday cake, food, lots of music, family photo ops and more. For more info or to volunteer, call Elena Holloway 956-401-6353 or  Tina Trevino956-740-8462.

Christmas pageant.  We hope to have lots of kids join us in this years Christmas pageant at our early Christmas Eve service. Details on rehearsals coming very soon. The costumes are out of storage and we are looking forward a wonderful time.  More details soon.

One other fun family event, a white elephant gift exchange is being planned. Details coming soon. Find a new home for those unusual items you’re never sure what to with.

Thanksgiving coming - If you or someone you know needs to find a place for thanksgiving dinner, please let Fr. Paul know. And if you would like to host a guest or two, let him know that as well.
