“CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR”
RECONCILIATION LITURGIES MAKE THIS A GIVING CHRISTMAS
We are once again rapidly approaching the glori-
Individual Confessions ous celebration of Christmas.
Saturday, December 18th We are happy to announce our
3:00 – 5:00 PM seventeenth annual Giving Tree
Wednesday, December 22
which will be in the Church, be-
9:00 - 10:00 AM
Wednesday, December 22 ginning with the 5:30 PM Mass
7:00- 8:30 PM on December 4. In place of the
usual Christmas decorations, the
Tree will be decorated with en-
velopes containing the names of
needy families in our community.
If helping a family this year will
enrich your Christmas, this is
the perfect opportunity.
Inside each envelope are the names of family
members and ages of the children. You may
choose any envelope. Usually food is provided so
the family can prepare their Holiday meal, plus
gifts for the family, especially the children. Do
what feels right for your family and experience
the joy of a truly Giving Christmas.
Please contact the family in advance to get an
idea of their needs and verify ALL information
listed in the envelope. There are names and
phone numbers of Spanish interpreters with the
family information that can assist you as needed.
It is also VERY important that you enter all infor-
mation into the Christmas Giving Tree Book on
the table by the tree.
Another option is to choose an envelope from
our other Tree. You may donate scrip, cash or
checks which will be used to provide food and
necessities to needy families. There will be a box
in the Church office for these donations. We
LONGEST NIGHT LITURGY will also have a Toy Bin in Church throughout
7 P.M. DECEMBER 21ST the Advent Season. All toys should be new or
St. Timothy’s in Laguna Niguel is having it’s third hand crafted and left unwrapped.
“Longest Night Prayer Service” on Tuesday, De- The Giving Tree can be one way this Christmas
cember 21st at 7 p.m. This is a time for those for you and your family to glorify
who find the holidays difficult, painful, sad, and/or the Lord. In the words of Jesus,
depressing, to come together in faith for some “Whatever you do to the least of
prayer, scripture, song, reflection and fellowship. my brethren, you do unto me”.
It is not a Mass; and people of other faith tradi-
tions are invited to come as well. We hope this May God Bless You,
might be a time of consolation and peace...and The Christian Service Office
renewal of hope on the longest night of the year.

Respect Life
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE--STILL STRONG
Despite the rising figures for cohabitation, divorce, and
single parent child rearing, a new study by the Pew
Research Center on how Americans view marriage
and family shows only five percent of those under 30
don't plan on getting married. With the marginally
misleading title of "The Decline of Marriage and Rise of
New Families" the study, based on census data and a
new telephone poll of 2,691 adults conducted between
October 1 and 21, found that traditional marriage as
the most viable basis of society is in no danger of dis-
appearing.

SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
The St. Edward Conference is again partici-
pating in "Toys for Tots." The U.S. Marine
Corps Reserve founded the program in
Los Angeles in 1947 to provide toys to
children disadvantaged as a result of World
War II. Since then, more than 200 million underprivi-
leged children have received toys at Christmas thanks
to the Marines.
In Orange County, the program is managed by the
SVDP Council. Complemented by toys brought by our
generous St. Edward students and parishioners, we're
able to brighten the lives of many local kids.

As a part of the restorative justice process, the

to parishioners in the Dioceses of Orange and San
Bernardino to meet and discuss issues of the incar-
cerated with imprisoned women on January 17,
2011 from 9:00am-3:00pm.
Those who attend will be encouraged to return to
their parishes with valuable information in hopes of
making people aware of this ministry and the vari-
ous ways they might get involved.
