A Christmas We Will Never Forget                                               by Fr. Tim
       As the well-known Christmas song reminds us, Christmas is the most wonderful time of
the year, and just like that first Christmas, every year it seems like heaven and earth come very
close together on Christmas Eve. Undoubtedly, that is due to the fact that more people practice
their faith and conscientiously try to do good and practice charity than any other time of the
year, and you can literally feel the love and the peace that engenders. But there will always be
some Christmases that will forever stick out in our memories for one reason or another. For
instance, I have always referred to that Christmas in the eighties (1985?) when I was assigned
to St. Lawrence O’Toole in Garfield, and it was so bitter cold that the holy water froze in the
fonts situated by the doors. But nothing will supplant the memories of Christmas 2020, of
having Mass in parking lots and emphasizing the importance of NOT getting close to family
members and always wearing your masks. One moment in particular that I won’t forget is
when I was celebrating Mass on Christmas morning on a stage in the parking lot and it was so
bitter cold that when I drank from the chalice it literally stuck to my lip and when I poured
water into the chalice to purify it, it crystallized on contact.
       That being said, Christmas 2020 couldn’t have been celebrated without an army of
people stepping up and helping us to keep the “spirit” of Christmas alive in the midst of a
pandemic.
       Many thanks to the Knights of Columbus at St. Mary’s and the volunteers at St.
Ursula’s who helped us to park hundreds of cars for the outdoor Masses. It would have been
pure chaos without your help.
       I can’t say thank you enough to our Music Ministry, who served under extraordinary
circumstances, both inside and outside the church buildings, to help us to “lift up our hearts to
the Lord”, and to make this happen took weeks of extra practice and planning. Thanks also to
those who stepped up and served as cantors and lectors and servers. You added to the
solemnity of the praise we were trying to offer to the Father for our Savior.
       Thanks to the teams who spent hours decorating our churches in honor of the Prince of
Peace and all those parishioners who donated to the Christmas Flower Funds.
       Your contributions to the St. Vincent de Paul Society helped our faithful men and
women to provide extraordinary assistance in an extraordinary year.
       We made an extra effort to do outreach this year because people were so isolated and
alone, so “muchas gratias” to all those who made phone calls to every household in the parish
or made cookies for the elderly or contributed to the Giving Tree. The smiles and the joy that
you may not have seen will be your everlasting reward.
       Behind the scenes our maintenance staffs were extra busy this Christmas, not only
clearing snow in parking lots and walkways but doing the extra sanitizing that has to be done
on pews and bathrooms and door handles. Because of their extra efforts at a time when
everybody else is enjoying their leisure, we could all attend Mass on Christmas in safety,
which is a tremendous gift that we sometimes take for granted.
       And, finally, I ask our good and loving God to bless every one of you who remembered
us with a special contribution at Christmas. Because Covid has affected our weekly
attendance, it has also affected our collections. Subsequently, we don’t have money to spend
on luxuries and your extra gift for us at Christmas helps us to pay for the gas and the light and
the insurance, which is no small cost. Thank you from my heart for being part of this parish
family which began in 1834, which survived the Civil War and all the wars that followed it,
that survived the Spanish Flu of 1918 and now the Pandemic of 2020. With God’s help and
your assistance we are beginning 2021 – TOGETHER!

                      Re|Engage is an 18-week marriage enrichment program that examines God's design for
                      marriage and applies principles from the Bible to guide couples towards growth in their
                      relationship with each other. Marriages in any condition can benefit, whether you are
                      struggling to get along, your marriage is broken, or you simply want to grow closer together as a
                      couple. There is 1 preview night still available on January 13. Re|Engage Preview Nights are a chance
    to learn about Re|Engage, the curriculum, the program, and the expectations, as well a time to ask questions.
    Attending at least one of these is mandatory for class enrollment. You do not have to be a member of Memorial Park to
    join! To Register for the free preview nights, visit mpcepc.org/marriage.
