“Our aim has to be the infinite and not the finite. The Infinite is our homeland. We have always been expected in Heaven.”
—Carlo Acutis
Died of Leukemia in 2006, age 15
Cause for Canonization begun: Nov 2016
Fourth Sunday of Advent
T his is how the birth of Jesus
Christ came about. When his
mother Mary was betrothed to
Joseph, but before they lived together, she
was found with child through the Holy
Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a
righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her
to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold, the
angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do
not be afraid to take Mary your wife into
your home. For it is through the Holy
Spirit that this child has been conceived in
her. She will bear a son and you are to
name him Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins.” All this took place
to fulfill what the Lord had said through
the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall
conceive and bear a son, and they shall
name him Emmanuel, which means “God
is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as
the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home.

Sacraments
Baptisms Baptisms for infants through 2nd grade are generally held during any of the weekend Masses (except during Advent and Lent.)
Please note: you must complete an online baptism request form located on our website before attending the baptism classes. If you are registered with another parish, you must provide a letter from your parish confirming that you are registered there and are regularly attending Mass.
There are three classes which parents and godparents are required to attend. The first covers the responsibilities parents and godparents promise toward keeping the flame of faith alive in their child/godchild. The second will reaffirm and respond to questions from the first and discuss the ongoing involvement in the child’s continued growth in the faith of the Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. And the third class will discuss the baptismal rite itself.
Classes will be scheduled and conducted by Deacon Richard Ramm upon receipt of the completed baptism request form.
Weddings
All weddings must be scheduled six months in advance. A marriage preparatory class (four sessions) is required. Contact the parish office to determine availability and to schedule your wedding.

Wanted: Retired Teachers
St. Albert the Great Catholic School is looking for
a few retired teachers who would be willing to

remediation beyond classroom differentiation.
These are motivated students and families who
want a high level of academic success.
Folks, we need your talents.
We would love you to be able to volunteer, and
some may make agreements with the families to be
paid.

Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice
St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by JoAnn and Chuck Baird, is on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the chapel.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653, says:
The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures…Let them remem-ber, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.’
Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to in-crease the time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst with ours.”
All members of the Centering Prayer group invite you to join them in the joy of this spiritual discipline.

“The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you wish you can do
good to them.” [Mk 14:7]
There is a real need for individual packets of dried
milk and single serving size pork and beans, tuna
fish, Vienna sausage, or any other food item that
come in five ounce cans. These items are pre-
cooked and can be eaten directly from the can if
necessary. I am trying to figure out how to
package these items in something other than a
brown paper lunch bag since I like to put several
items in this bag for a complete day of food and
the lunch bags aren’t big or sturdy enough to hold everything. If you
have any ideas please let me know.
Those in need are so grateful for your gifts
of non-perishable food, clothing, and
toiletries.
Thank you for all you do for those in need
and may God bless you.

Deacon’s OutreachDeacon’s Outreach A Saint For Geeks?: Aiming for the infinite
Recently I came across an article which spoke of a
young computer genius who died of leukemia in 2006 at
the age of 15. On November 24, 2016, Cardinal Angelo
Scola closed the diocesan phase in the canonization
process for Italian teenager Carlo Acutis, a gifted
computer geek, considered a genius by adults with
computer engineering degrees.
Yet, as gifted as he was, his brief life was always
centered on Christ. He once said “To always be close to
Jesus, that’s my life plan.” Carlo attended Mass every day,
he remained close to Jesus in whatever he did, whether
praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament for hours,
creating websites, or going to school like every other
teenager. [Read more in this week’s Colloqui]
