MESSAGE FROM FR. ROBERT ABOUT THE RORATE CAELI MASS (flyer below)

Shalom dearly beloved! Being that sunrise will be at 6:50 a.m., on Saturday, December 13th, the Advent "Rorate Caeli" CANDLELIGHT TRADITIONAL LATIN LOW MASS, in honor of our Blessed Mother, will begin at 5:30 a.m. that morning. This will allow time for the Mass to be celebrated in a less "rushed" manner and to better coordinate with the first rays of the dawn breaking down upon us! It will also allow time to put away all the candles before Community Morning Prayer at 7:30 a.m., and Mass at 8:00 a.m.

Let us offer the sacrifice of waking up early on a Saturday as a penance for Our Lady's intentions for the salvation of souls, especially those in most need of Jesus' Divine Mercy.

I hope YOU can join us! -Fr. Robert Elias Barcelos, O.C.D.

MOTHER BALCAZAR WEBSITE

The Mother Gertrude Balcazar Home is an assisted living facility (board and care) in San Fernando, California (a 35-minute drive from St. Therese Church). It was founded and is run by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception.

"He shows us that the smallest actions done for His Love are those which charm His Heart. If it were necessary to do great things, we should be deserving of pity, but we are happy beyond measure, because Jesus lets Himself be led captive by the smallest action." –St. Therese
