Then Mary the Mother of Jesus was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins. |
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday this week are Ember Days. Traditionally, these are penitential days of fasting and partial abstinence (full abstinence on Friday) four times each year, at the change of the seasons.
On Monday, December 25th, the Christmas Mass schedule at Holy Ghost Parish is as follows:
Midnight Mass at Holy Ghost Church
7AM Mass at St. Stephen of Hungary Oratory
8:30AM Mass at Holy Ghost Church
10:30AM Mass at Holy Ghost Church
At Holy Ghost Parish each week on Sundays there is a coffee social after the 8:30AM Mass and potluck and catechism after the 10:30AM Mass in the church hall downstairs.
Since the merger of St. Stephen of Hungary and Holy Ghost Parishes that occurred on June 20th, only a 7AM Sunday Mass will be offered at St. Stephen of Hungary Church. Confessions will be heard before Mass starting at 6:30AM.
