This Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, we rejoice! Gaudete Sunday is a time of joyful and hopeful anticipation for the coming of Christ at Christmas. It marks a shift from the penitential feel of the first two weeks of Advent and focuses on the closeness of Christ’s coming at Christmas.

Thank you, once again, City of Plantation, Broward Mall, Galleria Mall, Coral Square Mall, Sawgrass Mills Mall and Boca Towne Center, for displaying Nativity scenes and resurrecting the true meaning of Christmas.
During these times of an unhealthy secularization, we are reminded this Christmas that the God-Given gift of freedom of faith and expression in the Public Square is needed now, more than ever. As we visit the child Jesus lying peacefully amid the busy shoppers, let us greet each other with a Merry Christmas! In doing so, we joyfully proclaim The Incarnation, the reality that God , in the form of a baby boy, has come to us.
The Committee to Bring Jesus Back to Christmas. Director: Christine Torres and members of St. Gregory.

This year’s ANGEL TREES are up. They are located in the Foyer of the Church in front of the Baptistery.
The beautiful decorated ornament-tags have the NEEDS or WISHES of SENIORS or CHILDREN(ages infancy to 17 years old) represented on the back of the tags. These are individuals in need of help this Christmas.
On each tag, you will find an item listed; the recipient’s age group, gender and charity.
Please remember to bring your WRAPPED (or unwrapped if it is instructed on the tag) gift WITH THE ATTACHED TAG for identification - back to the Church and place it under the Angel Tree no later than December 14th.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE TAG YOU TAKE ACCOMPANY THE GIFT WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE CHURCH, OTHERWISE WE WON’T KNOW WHO THE GIFTS BELONG TO.
Some of the charities we reach include: St. John Nursing Home, Covenant House, Child Net, Jack and Jill Children’s Center, Catholic Charities, West Broward Nursing Home, and other various local organizations and Catholic Churches.
Your kind generosity is greatly appreciated.
The prayer service will be an excellent opportunity to enter into the spirit of Advent as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. All are welcome.
The Women’s Guild is proud to present our “Christmas Celebration” Social. This will be a really fun evening. Come enjoy a fun night of Christmas caroling, and an “optional” gift exchange ($10 value).

Many have been partaking of this blessed opportunity. All are encouraged to receive the grace which comes from spending time with our Eucharistic Lord. All are welcome on Thursdays to pray and adore.
