1 ST. PETER CATHOLIC CHURCH 95 MARKET STREET MOUNT CLEMENS, MICHIGAN December 12, 2021 (586) stpetermtclemens.com My Dear Parishioners, As we move deeper into the Advent Season and continue to prepare for the great commemoration of the coming of our Savior the Christ Child, I am drawn to two recent events that compel comment. In the first instance, all of us were appalled and stunned by the truly tragic killing of four wonderful high school students at Oxford High School and the serious, even life threatening injuries suffered by several other young people and a teaching professional. This scurrilous attack by an obviously troubled young person has left not only a high school, a charming city, but also our entire state nothing short of desolate. This horrific tragedy, inflicted upon the young people of a city I formerly ministered to when I was assigned as Associate Pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Lake Orion, has left permanent scars upon a legion of young people during a most impressionable period of their lives. Of course, such a terrible incident draws us to a logical and very human question; why would a good and loving God ever permit such a tragedy to take place? Why wouldn t God make the gun jam or the perpetrator miss his targets? Our children are suddenly terrified to go to school fearing that such an incident might repeat itself at their place of study a safe harbor we previously never really thought as in jeopardy. Those kinds of shootings where children attack children happened in other states, not here, not at home. That comfortable myth has now been utterly destroyed. The nightmare scenario has visited our state and we need to support and protect our most precious children in every way possible. So, back to the question, why would God allow such a thing to happen? First, we all need to recall that there is a dramatic difference between God permitting something horrible to happen and the Almighty actually causing such a dreadful instance. Above all other factors, one thing to be certain of is that God is NEVER the author of evil. God is absolute love and he was as devastated as each of us when a young and troubled man brought a weapon to school, when wonderful and talented young people were killed and seriously wounded and when our uniformed defenders, our police officers were compelled to place themselves in harms way to save so many other students and teachers. Next, we need to recognized that this is not heaven on Earth. It s just Earth. This life of ours is fragile and finite. We are here for a relatively short time and what we do with that time and how we live our lives is incredibly important. We are frail and subject to disease and dreadful violence because that is the price that must be paid in exchange for our unlimited exercise of our most valuable gift from God, our free will. That exercise of free will can be advanced for moral good or for terrible evil and every bad act, every sin carries with it sometimes dramatic ramifications, just like a big rock causing waves to rush to the shore in all directions when we toss it into a pond. What is certain though is that when our time here is completed, we go back from where we came, to our God and He greets us with open arms. I have no doubt that Christ was at Oxford High School and each of the mortally wounded victims walked from this world into the consuming embrace of His Love. We can t keep our children from all harm. We can only do our best. Please know that we have great security in place at our school. Moreover, we have solid security in place at our beautiful church so that each of you can bring your family to pray any weekday afternoon during Advent. I want to assure each of you that we will remain vigilant in protecting your children at St. Mary School and St. Peter Parish. Speaking of our treasured little ones, just a reminder to the fantastic and loving parents of our second graders who are going to receive two wonderful Sacraments this year; First Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Your student must participate in preparatory classes in order to receive the Sacraments. Continued on pg 2 Rite of Eucharistic Adoration and opportunity for individual confession: Friday, December 10, & 17 6:00-7:00pm Confessions in Church: Saturday, December 11, & 18 2:00-3:30pm Reconciliation Service: Thursday, December 16 7:00-8:30pm

2 Page 2 St. Peter Parish, Mount Clemens I am counting on each of you to fulfill the promise you made personally to God during your child s Baptism to raise them properly within the Roman Catholic faith. If you have missed sessions please contact Ms. Walker to arrange for a makeup session. I want to encourage everyone to visit Christ in the confessional this Advent. Heavens knows your parish staff is giving you every opportunity to take your soul to the dry cleaners through this fabulous gracefilled sacrament that can literally change your life. On the 16th of December we will have a communal reconciliation service from 7:008:30 p.m. and of course, confession is available every Friday evening in Advent from 6:007:00 along with Eucharistic Adoration and a holy hour. And if you thought you didn t have a enough confessional time available, Fr. Christopher, Fr. Dale and I hear confessions every Saturday from 2:30 3:45. Don t miss a chance to make peace with God prior to Christmas! As you can see your parish staff has eliminated any excuse not to do so. Finally, I hope each of you will be present for our First Annual Christmas Light Extravaganza on 22 December from 5:30 to 7:00. This is going to be an incredibly special way to get ready for Christmas with thousands of lights, hot chocolate, ginger bread boys, a 50/50 raffle, bike raffle, a visit from a certain jolly old elf and Christmas Carols. Moreover, our heroes at St. Vincent de Paul will be making sure that any needy family receives a bag from Santa to put under the tree. This is a great chance for us to join our neighbors for a truly festive and joyous time. So, keep on decking the hall and get ready for the Christ Child in our last bit of Advent HE IS COMING! God bless each of you. Your Pastor, Fr. John Hello and happy Gaudete Sunday! Some of you may be confused by my greeting. We have come to the third Sunday of Advent; also known as Gaudete Sunday, meaning to rejoice. As we close in on the great solemnity of Christmas, we take a moment on this third Sunday of Advent to rejoice in a particular way at the coming of the Christ Child. Advent as we know is a season of anticipation, repentance, and preparation. We mark the season with the advent wreath. This week we do not light a purple candle, but rather a rose colored candle. The priest also may wear a rose colored vestment to mark Gaudete Sunday. The rose candle, vestments and readings this weekend all encourage us to rejoice. As we reflect on these beautiful readings and symbols, we might find it hard in our lives to rejoice. The pandemic has led to many feeling isolated and for some, angry with the disruption of life. For some, this Christmas might be the first one without a spouse, parent, friend or family member. It may seem like there is nothing to rejoice about. It is good for us to be aware of those moments when we find it difficult to rejoice, when we have been frustrated and angry. I encourage us to present these moments to the Lord this week in our prayer in order that we might not hold onto these feelings, experiences and irritations, but rather turn them over to the Lord. We present them to Him as a gift. It is most important for us to remember that God has not abandoned us in the struggles of life even though we do not always experience His closeness. He is still with us on the journey. Our reading from St. Paul to the Philippians this week reminds us to rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again, rejoice have no anxieties at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. St. Paul urges us in all things to rejoice in the Lord. When we are sad, angry, confused or lost, let us rejoice in the Lord. we rejoice knowing that God is with us, that He has made us to love and be loved by Him. When we rejoice in the ups and downs of life, it allows us to remember that God is with us in it all. The Lord is the joy of our souls and will provide His joy to us in the midst of the struggles of life. Sometimes these joys are on the surface and easy to see and at other times they can be a little more difficult to see, but they are still there. St. Paul encourages us to rejoice always and pray without ceasing. I think this is the key. We must be a people who pray without ceasing. To pray through the joy, through the frustration, through the anger, through the uncertainty. If we are having a hard time seeing the joy and blessings, ask God that you might be able to see the blessings and grace. As the readings from the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary reminds us of Her yes to God, let us also strive to allow our souls to proclaim the greatness of the Lord, to have our spirits rejoice in God our Savior. I pray that all of us this week might experience the joy of the Lord as we continue to prepare ourselves for His coming. May we entrust to him the joys and struggles of our lives in order that our souls may proclaim the greatness of the Lord. Fr. Christopher

6 Page 6 St. Peter Parish, Mount Clemens What s New on New Street Wild and Wonderful Times at St. Peter Church The months of October and November were absolutely unbelievable for our food pantry. The rst big event was Mercy in Action Day. You may have read the article Deb GoffLiegghio wrote about the activities in the parking lot, church basement, cemetery and at the vegetable garden on that Saturday morning. Well, the pantry beneted in a big way 13,000 pounds of food donated to help prepare for the big turkey drive we hold every November. Our monthly assistance in October resulted in 291 families driving down the alley. All received food, some also got hygiene and household items, and others received clothing, furniture, and rent and utility assistance. Expenses in October totaled $5,400, which did not include expenditures for food. In midoctober, we started signingup neighbors in need for our annual Thanksgiving dinner distribution of a turkey and a bag of xins. The parishioners, parents of our St. Mary school children, families of the Religious Education students and our parish staff helped make this a recordbreaking year with over 500 turkeys donated to St. Vincent de Paul. We believe Fr. John set the tone for the event by wearing a turkey hat at Mass to help communicate the turkey giveaway day of November 18th. On the 18th, cars snaked through the Church parking lot as our neighbors and St. Vincent de Paul members from other Catholic Churches in Macomb County came to pick up turkeys. We were also able to branch out again this year, sending turkeys to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, Most Holy Trinity Church, the retired priests home and to St. Moses the Black s St. Vincent de Paul conference in Detroit. We also shared your generosity with the Vietnam Veterans Association. St. Peter Church has been thanked profusely by all the organizations we reached out to assist. And, while all that turkey stuff was going on, 313 families passed through the pantry for food and the usual assistance we provide because of your thoughtfulness and generosity. Without including food purchases, we spent $4,800 in November. We also had a surprise visit from a Girl Scout Troop from L Anse Creuse School District. The girls assembled and donated birthday bags which contain the ingredients for baking a birthday cake, for icing the cake, and for topping the cake with candles too! Our practice has been to give the bags to children who pass through the pantry with their family and ask them to bake a cake to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus. Thank you, scouts. The Vincentians at St. Peter Church try to establish relationships with our neighbors in need based on trust and familiarity and to relate to their hardships which have been intensied by the Covid pandemic. In many cases, we are the face of the Catholic Church in Mount Clemens. We could not perform our ministry without you, our faithful friends. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you and God Bless. MEDIUM SIZE GIFT BAGS NEEDED!!! We also need small and large bags! Please drop off gift bags at the Parish Office or bring to Mass and leave by the doors. Thank you ahead of time for your generosity.
