No Advent Penance Service
There will be NO Advent Penance Service this year. Therefore, Father Dennis is prepared to increase the hours of Reconciliation during the Season of Advent, assisted by Father Morey so that the faithful will have every opportunity to fulfill their Seasonal obligation:
Advent Thursday Confessions:
December 14th, 6:00PM-7:30PM
December 21st, 6:00PM-7:30PM
Advent Saturday Confessions:
Saturday, December 9th, 3:00PM-4:30,PM
Saturday, December 16th, 3:00PM-4:30PM
December 23rd, 2:00PM-3:30PM
Friday,
December 8, 2023, is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This is a Holy Day of Obligation and there will be a Mass for the Vigil on Thursday, December 7th, at 6:30 pm. Masses on Friday, December 8th for the Holy Day will be at 12 noon and at 6:30pm.(The 6:30pm Mass will be celebrated by Father Robert Morey and is an Extra Ordinary Mass ~ Traditional Latin).!!!ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!
This year Christmas Eve falls on the 4th Sunday of Advent. This doesn't happen often but when it does it makes for a VERY CONFUSING and LONG weekend.
We still need to observe our Sunday Mass Obligation AND our Holy Day Obligation by attending BOTH a 4th Sunday of Advent Mass and a Christmas Mass. In order to do this and not exhaust our Priests, Deacons and Liturgical Ministers we will be radically altering the 4th Sunday of Advent Mass times for the weekend of 23/24 December.
Our Christmas Mass Schedule will remain the same as in year's past for the 24/25 December.
We will be offering TWO VIGIL MASSES at 4:00PM and 6:30PM on Saturday, 23 December for the 4th Sunday of Advent. On the morning of 24 December we will have an 8:00AM Mass and a 10:00AM Traditional Latin Mass for the 4th Sunday of Advent.You cannot attend one Mass on 24 December and consider it to fulfill both your 4th Sunday of Advent and Christmas Mass obligations! There is NO TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL on this weekend!!!
Faith Formation Classes and Youth Activities began September 10, 2023
Registration for Faith Formation at OLL is ongoing!(Click on "Ministries" Tab at top of website page and select "Faith Formation" linto find Registration Forms, Calendars, etc.

(from St. Paul Center
and Dr. Scott Hahn)
All registered parish households were mailed a letter from Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune, CS with a Catholic Appeal of South Carolina (CASC), formerly the Bishops Annual Appeal, a brochure and pledge card. Pledges may be returned to the Office of Stewardship and Mission Advancement using the envelope included in the mailing or brought to Mass and put in the Offertory Basket in the Narthex.
If missed the 2023 CASC video, you can enter the following link in your Internet Browser to watch:

Please take five minutes to watch the CASC video to learn more about it. You will see and hear about the wonderful programs and ministries that benefit from funding through this Appeal. Father Dennis has encouraged us to join him in offering a sacrificial gift. Together as a parish community, let us respond and do our part.
OUR BISHOP
God, eternal shepherd, you tend your Church in any ways and rule us with love. You have chosen your servant, Jacques, to be a shepherd of your flock. Give him a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he build your Church as a sign of salvation for the world. Amen.
