Deo Gratias Service 11:00 p.m.
Midnight: Tridentine High Mass
[Fulfills Holy Day Obligation]
Plan to usher in the New Year by attending our
yearly Deo Gratias Service, a Holy Hour of Thanksgiving, Adoration, Petition and Reparation, beginning at 11:00 p.m. I invite all our parishioners and
friends, but especially parents whose children were
baptized this past year at St. John’s; those who professed their marriage vows before our altar during
this past year and finally, families of those who
were buried from our church. Attending our Holy
Hour is a splendid way to end the year as well as
prepare for the New Year. A Tridentine High Mass
follows the Holy Hour which is the obligatory Mass
for the Holy Day.

COLLECTION OF OLD GOLD
In the past we have collected “old gold” from parishioners and friends. As we approach the Feast of
Christmas and in January the Feast of Epiphany consider donating that broken chain, gold tooth, silverware,
pendants, rings, precious stones and the like. Over these years we have been able to fabricate crowns for
our Blessed Lady, the Millennium chalice, the Millennium Monstrance, a chalice dedicated to Pope Benedict
XVI in thanksgiving for the Motu Proprio and the replating of the monstrance which commemorates the Immaculate Conception dogma. I thank you in advance for any donations large or small. The ornaments
which once adorned the human body, will be used to adorn the altar and the Saints in glory.
In addition to continuing the work on the guilding of the High Altar with donations of gold, I would
like to refurbish a number of sacred vessels such as chalices for newly ordained priests. We had the joy of
giving a chalice to a young man from St. Peter’s parish who will be ordained to the Priesthood this May.
Ember Days
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:
All things have their season,
and in their times all things pass under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which
is planted.
A time to kill, and a time to heal.
A time to destroy, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh.
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather.
A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to get, and a time to lose.
A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew.
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
A time of war, and a time of peace.
Four times a year (roughly equidistant), the Church
sets aside three days to focus on God through His
marvelous creation. These quarterly periods take
place around the beginnings of the four natural
seasons.
These four times are each kept on a successive
Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and are known as
"Ember Days," or Quatuor Tempora, in Latin. The
first of these four times comes in Winter, after the
theFeast of St. Lucy; the second comes in Spring, the
week after Ash Wednesday; the third comes in Summer, after Pentecost Sunday; and the last comes in
Autumn, after Holy Cross Day. Their dates can be
remembered by this old mnemonic:
Post Lucem, Post Cineres, Post Ignes, Post Crucem
Which means:
After the light, after the ashes, after the
flames, after the cross
These times are spent fasting and partially abstaining (voluntary since the new Code of Canon Law) in
penance and with the intentions of thanking God
for the gifts He gives us in nature and beseeching
Him for the discipline to use them in moderation.
The fasts, known as "Jejunia quatuor temporum," or
"the fast of the four seasons," are rooted in Old Testament practices of fasting four times a year:
Zacharias 8:19:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth
month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the
seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the
house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and peace.
No Parking
Just a gentle reminder to everyone. We are no longer
permitted parking in the lot owned by Concentra Medical as it is now open on Sunday mornings. See shaded
areas. There is no meter on Sundays on Ogden Ave.

Additional Hymns Christmas Day
The First Noel
1.
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;
In fields where they Lay keeping their
sheep On a cold winter’s night That was
so deep.
Refrain:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
2.
They looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the East, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Refrain:
3.
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country
far To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Refrain:
4.
This star drew near to the northwest,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right o’er the place where Jesus lay.
Refrain:
5.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full rev’rently upon their knee.
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Refrain:
O come, all ye faithful
1. O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him, born the
King of angels;
Refrain:
O come, let us adore him, O come, let us
adore him, O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.
2.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God, in the highest glory:
Refrain
3.
Savior, we greet thee, born this happy
morning, Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appear
ing:
Refrain
Angels we have heard on high
1. Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in
reply, Echo back their joyous strains.
Refrain:
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be, Which inspire your heav’nly song.
Refrain:
Remember, Servant of God,
Father John A. Hardon, S.J. whose
anniversary of death falls
at the end of December.
3. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth
the angels sing; Come, adore on bended
knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Refrain:
4. See him in a manger laid, Whom the angels
praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Refrain:
