We extend a very sincere welcome to all who will be joining us this weekend, especially those who may join us for the first time. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we hope that you will encounter within our community, the peace and joy that comes from knowing and loving Christ. If you have never registered in our parish community and feel called to do so, please introduce yourself to us so that we may get to know you and help you in the process. We hope that you will share your TIME & TALENT with us to help our parish grow.
Estendemos a todos os que tencionam juntar-se a nós, este fim de semana, os nossos sinceros votos de boas-vindas, de um modo especial àqueles que virão pela primeira vez. Não interessa em que altura se encontra na sua caminhada espiritual, só esperamos que encontre no seio da nossa comunidade, a paz e a alegria, que só se encontra quando se conhece e se ama a Cristo. Se ainda não está registado na nossa comunidade paroquial e sente um chamamento a fazê-lo, por favor, venha apresentar-se pessoalmente para que passemos a conhecê-lo e a ajudá-lo nesse processo. A nossa esperança é que venha partilhar conosco do vosso TEMPO e TALENTO, ajudando assim a nossa paróquia a crescer.

GIVING TREE
It is the custom that we have a Giving Tree during the season of Advent. Names of needy children that Catholic Social Services of Fall River gives us are put on a Christmas tree at the entrance of the church. Parishioners are invited to take a tag and buy a gift for that child. We ask that you do not wrap the gift. Please attach the tag on the gift and place it beneath the tree. The deadline for returning the gifts will be Sunday, December 13. These gifts are then given to these children for Christmas by Catholic Social Services.
Árvore Daimosa
E já tradição nossa ter uma Árvore Benfazeja durante o Advento. A Agência de Serviços Sociais de Fall River fornece-nos uma lista com nomes de crianças carenciadas e nós penduramos esses nomes numa Árvore de Natal à entrada da Igreja. Convidamos os paroquianos a tirar uma etiqueta e a comprar uma lembrança para aquela criança. Pedimos por favor que não embrulhem o presnte. Basta prender a etiqueta à sua oferta e colocá-la debaixo da árvore, que estará no lugar determinado a partir do primeiro Domingo do Advento. Poderão trazer a sua oferta até ao dia 13 de Dezembro. As lembranças serão depois distribuidas às crianças, pelo Natal, pelo pessoal dos Serviços Sociais Católicos.
