Merry Christmas to all.
Tuesday we celebrate the birth of our Savior. For most of us,
this day will be filled with tradition, remembering our own
childhood and marveling at the wonder we see in the eyes of the
children in our own families. But more than tradition, Christmas is
a celebration of life - our own lives, the lives we are living
today. The message of he angels – “Today a savior has been born
to you...” reminds all of us of God’s presence in our lives.
May the Peace and Joy that this great Feast signifies be with
you this Christmas Day and every day of your lives. In the name of
our staff, employees and volunteers who do so much for us, I wish
all of you a very Holy and Peaceful Christmas.
God
Bless ! Fr. Joe Bacevice |
REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS
 We
ask you to remember in our prayers the soul of
Lukas Balys who died recently and was buried from our
Parish. May he be at peace forever in the blessedness
of heaven.
HELP DECORATE THE CHURCH
FOR CHRISTMAS
 Lend
a hand and help decorate the church for Christmas. Church decorating is
Sunday, December 23 at 1:00pm.
OFFICES
CLOSED
Following the example of the central administration of our Diocese, beginning
this weekend, our parish business office will be closed until Monday, January 7th.
Our Mass schedule and other planned activities remain the same.
YOUR CHRISTMAS OFFERING
 Christmas is a traditional
time for people to make an extra offering to the Church. As you consider your
Christmas offering to Saint Casimir’s, I ask you to consider the place our
Parish has in your heart. For most, our Parish is more than just a place to go
to Church on Sundays. It is where we go in times of joy and grief, in times of
hope and despair, and in times of healing. We all know that winter is the most
expensive time of the year and as a parish, we face many challenges. So we ask
that everyone make an extra effort to give a substantial
offering this Christmas, because it is only because of
your generous support that we can continue our work. We thank you.

GIVING TREE THANK YOU
 Our Holy Name Society thanks everyone who contributed to
make our Giving Tree a success. A total of $2,995.00 in gift cards and cash
was donated and we were able to help 20 families (55 people) in our parish
with food and gift cards. God Bless You!
CHRISTMAS WAFERS and 2019 CALENDARS
Traditional Christmas Wafers are available at the
main entrance to the Church at Mass times, in the lower hall after the 10:00
Mass and at the Rectory during the week. Please use the special envelopes
provided; the suggested donation for each wafer is $1.
Our 2019 Church
calendars are available on the tables in the main lobby of the Church. We
thank our friends and fellow parishioners at the Jakubs Funeral Home for
providing them again this year.
CHRISTMAS COFFEE SOCIAL
 Next
Sunday, December 30,
everyone is invited to participate in a family-style Coffee Social after the
10:00 Mass. All are invited to bring a plate of Christmas cookies to the
cafeteria. It will be an opportunity to share the Christmas spirit (and your
goodies) with your fellow parishioners.
