Our Grouping Feedback & Discernment Team presented to the Executive Committee of the Renew My Church Commission last week. Pray for Cardinal Cupich, our bishops, the Presbyteral Council, Church of the Holy Spirit, St. Marcelline, and St. Matthew, and the lay faithful who are leading the work of renewal within our archdiocese.

These traditional Polish Christmas wafers are available in the parish office. Typically, before a Christmas Eve meal, families, will gather around the table. The eldest member of the family will begin the ritual by breaking off a piece of the wafer and passing it to another family member with a blessing. Free will donations are appreciated.

Bethlehem Nativity Products will be in the narthex after Masses this weekend. For centuries, the Christian and Catholics in Bethlehem have earned a living by carving olive wood religious art to sell to visiting pilgrims.

Your donations of food this year broke the weight scales! St. Aloysius Parish was grateful to receive your donations of food to make this Thanksgiving a memorable one, as their pantry shelves were extremely low. And, your generosity of $1,160.00 of donated gift cards was able to supplement family Thanksgiving tables. Again, THANK YOU ALL and may God continue to bless you and your families for all you do to support our sharing parish.

Come and join us in our annual Simbang Gabi on December 19 at 7 PM in the church. Refreshments will be served after Mass in the narthex.

To Be Joyful Again, a non-denominational support group for those who have lost a spouse or intended life partner, meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month at 7 PM at Holy Family Parish, 2515 Palatine Road, Inverness. Come get the support you need in this difficult time. All are welcome.

Eat at Buona Beef in Hoffman Estates on Higgins Road in Hoffman Estates and 20% of the sales will benefit the St. Hubert School FSA.

Our parishioners are extremely generous. In addition to on-going donations of time, service, and helping those in need, some also ask how they can help give back in other ways. There are some short-term and long-term methods that some parishioners have used in the past; but are not always immediately known.  As the holiday season and end of the year approaches, here are a few different vehicles some people have used for their charitable giving. 

If you would like to provide a poinsettia or greens for the environment this Christmas season, click here to donate electronically or please fill out the forms in the narthex and bring it to the Parish Ministry Center or drop in the collection basket. Any donation is welcome and can be applied toward the seasonal decorations. Checks should be made out to St. Hubert Church.

Join us at 6 PM in the PMC Club Room for our All Networking Meeting. We will have complimentary masks, socially-distanced networking, touchless registration (via QR code), and hand sanitizer, as well as complimentary sealed and separately packaged snacks. Bring plenty of handbills or resumes and be prepared to present through a dynamic elevator speech with target companies in mind.

We continue our daily Advent reflections at the crèche. These reflections started with our 7th graders praying in front of the empty manger. Each day another class adds a piece to the Nativity Scene, reads a reflection and prays before the manger. Our Preschoolers created Advent Wreaths and our Junior High students made Advent Pledges during Faith this week to kick off the Advent season. They are all “hung with care” on their lockers to remind them daily of their pledge to focus on Christ during this important season of waiting.

Bethlehem Nativity Products will be visiting next weekend on behalf of the Christian families in Bethlehem. For centuries, the Christian and Catholics in Bethlehem have earned a living by carving olive wood religious art to sell to visiting pilgrims.

During last Sunday’s 10:00 AM liturgy two adults and one child participated in the Rite of Welcome and Acceptance. They publicly declared their intention to seek baptism or full communion with the Catholic Church. The public declaration of faith by those seeking admission to our community can be a powerful support to our own faith. They remind us to probe anew and so welcome and accept more deeply in our own lives, “the immeasurable riches of grace in God’s kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” Please read their bios and continue to pray for them.

Return wrapped gifts with tags this weekend after all Masses and from 1-3 PM Sunday, December 11
