Parish Update Weekend of November 27, 2021

power and great glory." Luke 21:27
power and great glory." Luke 21:27
The Gospel for November 28, 2021
First Sunday of Advent
We Shall see His Crucified and Risen Body
Luke 21:25-28
St. Augustine notes, "Then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty." As I see it, this could be taken two ways. One way is that he will come in the church as in a cloud. He continues to come in this way according to his word, "Hereafter you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of Heaven." He comes with great power and majesty because his greater power and majesty will appear in the saints to whom he will give great power, so that persecution might not overcome them. The other way in which he will come will be in his body in which he sits at the right hand of the Father. In this body, he died, rose again, and ascended into heaven. It is written in the Acts of the Apostles: "When he had said these things, a cloud received him and he was taken up from their sight." The angels then said, "He shall so come as you have seen him going away." We have reason to believe that he will come not only in the same body but also in a cloud since he will come as he left, and a cloud received him as he went.

CALL TO ACTION
Dear Parishioners,
Help us tell Congress not to Exclude Catholic Schools from Federal Child Care and Pre-K Programs. Visit https://www.votervoice.net/USCCB/campaigns/89541/respond to have your voice heard.
It's not too late. This language must be fixed or faith-based communities will effectively be excluded from both programs. We must make our voices heard! Thank you for your help.

AMCS Angel Corner
AMCS 8th graders have been working hard researching and creating Saint reports which they are now presenting to their class. Students have also learned about the Process of Canonization and had a visit from Dcn. Clarence McDavid from
Cur d 'Ars Catholic Church in Denver.
Dcn. Clarence came to teach 8th-grade students about Servant of God Julia Greeley who is from the Archdiocese of Denver and her cause for canonization. Students learned how Julia Greeley walked great distances each month going to every fire station in Denver to promote devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
They learned about the story of the "Little White Angel" she holds in the picture, about Julia Greeley's little red wagon, and how she worked tirelessly and gave charitably to help poor families in need. In the first photo, Dcn. Clarence explains the various items included in this painting of Julia Greeley, each representing important aspects of her life. If you would like to learn more about Julia Greeley, visit the Julia Greeley Guild at: https://juliagreeley.org/.
