Kat Berbel. We will exchange ornaments, not valued at more than $15, White Elephant style. Please bring an ornament to exchange and a dish/wine to share with the group. We would love to see you at this always fun and laugh-filled event. Please contact Kat for more information at [email protected].
A TOOL to Enrich Your Marriage Would you like to have a night out with your spouse once a month that would provide the opportunity to get closer to each other and closer to God? Would you like to meet and
become friends with other couples that want to share their faith and have a desire to grow in holiness? All over the world, couples have found a way to meet their desire for growth in love and faith through the Teams of Our Lady movement. In Dripping Springs, we currently have 38 couples that make up 6 Teams. If you want to learn more about the lay movement called Teams of Our Lady, the meeting structure and spiritual components, please make time to join us for an Information Meeting on Thursday, December 7th at 7:00pm in the Education Center. Contact Myron or Chery Lutz 913-209-7286 or email us at [email protected] for more information and to reserve a spot.
Next Bulletin Deadline: Friday, December 8th for the December 17th bulletin by noon via email to [email protected].
As we begin Advent we are called to “Be watchful! Be alert” as we stand in joyful anticipation for the grace of Christmas to once again bless our lives.
When you donate to the St Vincent de Paul Society you will help the poor to celebrate the grace of God’s love this Christmas.
Food Pantry Needs: Rotel Tomatoes, Canned or Packaged Tuna and Chicken, Chili, Soups, Canned Peaches and Cheese/Peanut Butter Crackers Granola Bars.

Spread the Light of Christ Tuesday, December 5th
6:oopm - Front of church
The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ brought a great illumination of hope into the world. The Knights of Columbus invite our Parishioners, their families, and friends to help “Spread the Light of Christ” on, by lighting our outdoor Christmas tree at the circle in front of the church immediately after daily Mass. Join us as we continue a new tradition at St. Martin de Porres parish and help spread the joyful tidings of Christ’s birth. We plan to have hot chocolate and cookies hosted by Catholic Daughters of the Americas and sing a few Christmas carols before we end the event.

PRIMER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO 3 DE DECIEMBRE DE 2017
Al celebrar la Iglesia el Adviento, te invita a meditar en la venida del Señor. El domingo 3 de diciembre empezó ese periodo, que consiste un periodo espiritual intenso, previo a la celebración de navidad. Considerando la importancia del tema es necesario dar una relectura para refrescar su significado.
La palabra latina "adventus" significa “venida”. En el lenguaje cristiano se refiere a la venida de Jesucristo. La liturgia de la Iglesia da el nombre de Adviento a las cuatro semanas que preceden a la Navidad, como una oportunidad para prepararnos en la esperanza y en el arrepentimiento para la llegada del Señor. El color litúrgico de este tiempo es el morado que significa penitencia.
El tiempo de Adviento es un período privilegiado para los cristianos ya que nos invita a recordar el pasado, nos impulsa a vivir el presente y a preparar el futuro.
Esta es su triple finalidad: Recordar el pasado: Celebrar y contemplar el nacimiento de Jesús en Belén. El Señor ya vino y nació en Belén. Esta fue su venida en la carne, lleno de humildad y pobreza. Vino como uno de nosotros, hombre entre los hombres. Esta fue su primera venida. Vivir el presente: Se trata de vivir en el presente de nuestra vida diar ia la " presencia de Jesucr isto" en nosotros y, por nosotros, en el mundo. Vivir siempre vigilantes, caminando por los caminos del Señor, en la justicia y en el amor. Preparar el futuro: Se trata de prepararnos para la Parusía o segunda venida de Jesucr isto en la " majestad de su glor ia" . Entonces vendrá como Señor y como Juez de todas las naciones, y premiará con el Cielo a los que han creido en Él; vivido como hijos fieles del Padre y hermanos buenos de los demás. Esperamos su venida gloriosa que nos traerá la salvación y la vida eterna sin sufrimientos. En el Evangelio, varias veces nos habla Jesucristo de la Parusía y nos dice que nadie sabe el día ni la hora en la que sucederá. Por esta razón, la Iglesia nos invita en el Adviento a prepararnos para este momento a través de la revisión y la proyección:
Aprovechando este tiempo para pensar en qué tan buenos hemos sido hasta ahora y lo que vamos a hacer para ser mejores que antes. Es importante saber hacer un alto en la vida para reflexionar acerca de nuestra vida espiritual y nuestra relación con Dios y con el prójimo. Todos los días podemos y debemos ser mejores.
En Adviento debemos hacer un plan para que no sólo seamos buenos en Adviento sino siempre. Analizar qué es lo que más trabajo nos cuesta y hacer propósitos para evitar caer de nuevo en lo mismo. Al celebrar la Iglesia el Adviento, te invita a meditar en la venida del Señor. “Preparen el camino del Señor” (Lc 3, 1-6).
