Jubilee Year of Mercy


December 8, 2015November 20, 2016

I have decided to announce an Extraordinary Jubilee which has at its centre the mercy of God. It
will be a Holy Year of Mercy. We want to live in
the light of the word of the Lord: Be merciful,
even as your Father is merciful (cf. Lk 6:36).
And this especially applies to confessors! So
much mercy!
Pope Francis

Matthew 25 Giving Tree


We will once again have a Matthew 25 Giving Tree
in the church vestibule. Funds collected support Fr.
John Tastos parish and school in Tijuana, Mexico.
If you would like to donate, pick an envelope from
the tree, enclose cash or a check (made payable to
St. Columba), and place in the collection basket or
drop off at the rectory. DO NOT put the envelope
with your donation back on the tree! Thank you for
supporting this worthy program.

Thank You!
Thank you to Brenda Gardner for her gift of time
and talent in creating a beautiful autumn arrangement for our altar.

Everyone is invited to come to


the Parish Hall after the 7:30
and 9:30 Masses next Sunday
for coffee and donuts and to enjoy a beautiful exhibit of Nativity
scenes.

Gift Baskets
The Mens Club is now collecting non-perishable
food for Christmas baskets. If you know of anyone
who can use a basket for Christmas, please call the
rectory with the contact information.

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Immaculate Conception
Tuesday, Dec. 8, is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It
is a Holy Day of Obligation.
Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 a.m., 8:15 a.m.,
and 6:00 p.m.

Evening Bible Sharing


The evening Bible Sharing group will meet next Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 6:30 pm in the Ministry Center, then not
again until 1-13-16. We'll then resume our regular schedule of meeting on the second and fourth Wednesdays.

Retirement Fund for Religious


Next weekend there will be a special collection for
the Retirement Fund for Religious. Thousands of
senior priests, brothers, and sisters have dedicated
their lives to sharing their faith. Yet many religious
communities lack adequate savings for retirement
and eldercare. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for
Religious helps provide prescription medications,
nursing care, and more. Please be generous.
PLEASE PRAY for the following who are ill,
their families and those who care for them:
Walt Becker, Rodelia Clark, Robert & Louise Dennin,
Jason George, Daniel Holland, David Hoover, Randa
Matyas, Deb Oberg, Doris Oliver, Pat Oliver, Joanne &
Rick Schultheis, Jerry Solheid, Marilyn Theile, Divina
Villar, Sam Zanin

Christmas Flowers
If you would like to make a
flower offering in honor of a
friend or family member, special envelopes are available on
the table in the vestibule. Your
donations will be used to beautify the church with poinsettias
during the Christmas season.
