 This Advent,
we invite you and your children
to participate in our Giving Manger!
What is a Giving Manger?
The Giving Manger is a fun, interactive Advent tradition that helps families focus
on the true meaning of Christmas. It's a visual tool that reminds kids Whose birth-
day it is! It also helps them learn how to serve others and make sacrifices for the
Baby Jesus.

How does it work?

During the weeks of Advent leading up to Christmas, kids (and adults!)
can perform simple acts of generosity and kindness or offer up little
sacrifices. Each week an act of generosity or kindness is made, add a
piece of straw to the wooden manger in the Narthex when you come to
Mass on the weekend.

When Christmas arrives, there will be a cozy resting place for the newborn
King, and we as a Parish Family can place Baby Jesus in His manger!

With all the excitement of Santa Claus and presents, the true meaning of Christmas
can get blurred. But with the Giving Manger, your family can focus on and rejoice
in the birth of Jesus!

 Please Join the Filipino Simbang Gabi Celebration!
Corpus Christi Parish Filipino Community invites everyone to join the Simbang Gabi on Friday, December 15,
with Father Mark Jurzyk as celebrant. Mass will begin at 6 PM in the church. There will be a reception featur-
ing Filipino foods and lechon (roasted pig) at Marian Hall immediately after Mass.
For those who have never been to this celebration, the word Simba means Mass and Gabi means Evening.
Hence, Evening Mass.
To Filipinos, this tradition is a novena of Masses, starting on December 15 and ending on December 23, in prep-
aration for the birth of Jesus. In the Philippines, these Masses are held at 4 AM when church bells begin to ring
and summon everyone to go to church. Every Catholic, young and old, students, workers, homemakers, all
lock to the church that early for nine days.
In the year of 1500, when the Franciscan and Dominican friars arrived in the Philippines, their mission was to
peacefully convert its people to Catholicism. At that time, Filipinos were mostly ishermen or farmers. The ish-
ermen would be arriving from their ishing boats at dawn while the farmers would be getting ready to work in
the ields before the sun goes up. The missionaries decided to set up catechism classes at around that time to
catch the ishermen and the farmers and their families. They would ring bells and families would gather around
bringing their breakfast and listen to the preachers.
These gatherings became regular events, and evolved into the Simbang Gabi, as it is known today, when the
Filipinos embraced the faith and were baptized. The preachers celebrated Mass instead of simply doing cate-
chism classes.
If you visit any part of the Philippines at this time of the year, you will feel the faith illed enthusiasm and eager-
ness as every church in every town in the Philippines is crowded with devout Catholics, young and old, going to
Mass. Then when the Priest has given his inal blessing after Mass, the Filipinos will gather around market
stalls to enjoy special desserts and delicacies.
As many Filipinos settle in different parts of the world, they bring this tradition with them. Thus, in countries
like Australia, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, and Canada and in any part of the United States, the Simbang Gabi has
become well known and a reason for Filipinos to renew friendships, meet new people, enjoy the hospitality of
the various parishes, and most especially, strengthen each other’s Catholic faith.

 KNIGHT’S KORNER
SAVING PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
The Knights of Columbus in collaboration with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other Catholic
organizations are raising awareness, prayers, and support for Persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
Christian families are now returning to their homes in ruins and need the help of their fellow Christians.
Nationally, the Knights of Columbus are helping to raise funds to rebuild the predominately Christian
town of Karamles, Iraq that was destroyed by ISIS. Since 2014, the Knights of Columbus Christian Refugee
Relief Fund has committed more than $17 million for humanitarian assistance primarily in Iraq, Syria, and
the surrounding region. You can find more about the efforts to aid persecuted Christians, as well as make
a tax-deductible donation, at www.ChristiansAtRisk.org. 100% of all donations will be used on behalf of
Christians in the Iraq and Syria. Please stop by the Knights of Columbus table in the Narthex to pick up a
flyer and prayer card. The Knights of Columbus Corpus Christi Council thank you for your support and
prayers for those who have suffered for their faith and who so desperately need our help and solidarity.
