La Noche de las Velitas The Night of the Little Candles
Our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the most beautiful gifts that Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us. (John 19:26-27) We love her because she is protecting us and praying for all of us before Our Heav-enly Father. We, as Catholic Church, hon-or her through many of her names: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady of the Lakes, The Immaculate Conception, and so on. The title of Immaculate Conception is very important for all the Americans because she is the patroness of this beautiful country, and for all the Colombians. In Colombia, the day of the Immaculate Conception has a lot of celebrations, such as First Communions, parties, and different celebrations. One of these celebrations is call La Noche the las Velitas.
La Noche de las Velitas or the Night of the Little Candles is one of the most observed traditional holidays in Colombia. It is celebrated on December 7 & 8, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, which is a public holiday in Colombia. This day is the unofficial start of the Christmas season in the country. On this day, people place candles and paper lanterns on windowsills, balconies, porches, sidewalks, streets, parks and squares; in short, everywhere they can be seen, in honor of the Virgin Mary and her Immaculate Conception. On De-cember 8 it is customary for houses to hoist a white flag with the image of the Virgin Mary all day. They also hold numerous events, from firework shows to competitions.
I will celebrate the Night of the Little Candles on December 7 after 7:00 p.m. Mass at St. Michael’s church and on December 8 after 5:00 p.m. Mass at St. Januarius Church.
Note that 5:00 p.m. Mass on December 8 is not the Immaculate Conception Eucharist, but the second Sunday of Advent time.
Please, join me in this Colombian tradition in honor to our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary and her Immacu-late Conception. Besides this celebration, after Mass, I will share the Colombian traditional dessert. Feel free to bring also something to share in this gathering after the celebration. Come and participate of this beautiful Co-lombian tradition.
All are welcome!
Fr. Jorge Ramirez
Introduction Has there ever been a time when someone has not yearned for God — or anyone — to bring about justice? The signs of the times still clearly reflect the pain of those who suffer. This season calls us to the same awareness as those who walked before us. We demonstrate Christ’s presence by courageously advocating for jus-tice, security and peace for all people.

St. Michael’s Christmas Giving Trees are back! “Giving Trees” have been set up in the front & back of the church.

My church is composed of people like me. I make it what it is. It
will be friendly, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I fill them. It
will do great work, if I work. It will make generous gifts to
many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people
into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them. It will
be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a
church of noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with
these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedi-
cate myself to the task of being all the things I want my church to
be. AMEN.
