Join us here online for Mass
every Sunday at 6:00 PM. WEEKDAY MASSES RETURNING THIS ADVENT
Here is the new weekday Mass schedule beginning on Tuesday, December 2, 2025: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church Tuesdays at 8:00AM Church of St. Adalbert Wednesdays at 8:00AM St. Paul the Apostle Church Thursdays at 7:00PM and Fridays at 8:00AM Eucharistic Adoration will now be held on the second Thursday of each month from 6:00 to 7:00PM, just before the Thursday evening Mass at St. Paul's. OUR CHRISTMAS MASS SCHEDULE
Please take a moment to look over our Christmas Mass schedule. We are grateful to have a Parochial Vicar with us. Fr. Feisthamel's presence allows us more flexibility in planning our Christmas Masses. Even with this flexibility, we will continue to rotate the Mass times fairly in our parishes from year to year. If, in the future, we no longer have a Parochial Vicar, we will return to the Christmas schedule we've followed in recent years.
We look forward to celebrating the birth of Christ with you. God's peace, Fr. Frisoni

Our Pastor's Message HAPPY NEW YEAR THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT Dear family,
As we begin the season of Advent, the Church quietly turns the page to a new year. There are no loud celebrations or flashing lights. There is only the soft glow of a single candle, and the ancient call to "stay awake." Advent is a season of waiting, but not the kind that leaves us restless. It is a sacred waiting, filled with hope. We wait for Christ, who comes not only in the manger, but also in the quiet moments of our lives. For many of us, this season brings memories. We remember past Christmases, loved ones who are no longer with us, and prayers that have carried us through the years. Advent honors those memories. It also gently invites us to look forward, and to prepare our hearts again for the Lord, who comes in love. This year, let us welcome Advent as a gift. Let your heart rest in the promise that God is near. An Advent Prayer
Come, Lord Jesus. Quiet my heart and open my eyes. Help me to wait with hope, to love with patience, and to welcome you with joy. Amen. STEWARDSHIP AND MISSION:
OUR ANNUAL PARISH FINANCIAL REPORT As we begin this new liturgical year, we also take a moment to reflect on the year just completed. In this bulletin, you will find an insert with the financial report for our parish for Fiscal Year 2024–2025. This report includes all income and expenses from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, as well as a summary of total assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, the final day of the fiscal year.
This is more than just numbers on a page. It is a sign of how we, as a community, care for the gifts entrusted to us. Through careful stewardship of our temporal goods, we support the mission of Jesus Christ through worship, outreach, education, and service. We praise God for the ability to evangelize, to gather in prayer, and to serve one another. And we thank you—our family—for your generous support and your commitment to the life of the Church. CONCLUSION
As this new liturgical year unfolds, we are invited to wait with hope and to serve with generous hearts. Whether through the quiet light of Advent, the return of our daily Mass, or the faithful care of our parish resources, Christ is near. He is sustaining us and calling us forward together. May this new year strengthen our shared mission and open our hearts ever more fully to the grace of the Lord who comes.
God's peace, Fr. Frisoni |
