Confessions for Christmas After all English-speaking Masses this weekend, 2nd/3rd December, the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) is available.
Launching the year of Mark : Today, the First Sunday of Advent, we begin cycle ‘B’ of the Church’s year, focusing of the Gospel of St Mark. We are (ahem!) marking this event with two workshops, being give by Fr Brendan McConvery CSsR. Fr Brendan is the author of the popular book ‘How to read the Bible’ and will provide useful, prayerful insights as to how best to approach our most sacred texts. These workshops are being held on next Friday 8th December, 19:00-20:30, and next Saturday 9th December 10:00-11:30 here at St Alphonse, and are titled ‘How to read the bible, with reference to Mark’ and ‘What to look for in Mark’, respectively. More details to follow on catholic.lu.
Copies of St Mark’s gospel are available from the tea/coffee table, €2,50 each. Please avail of this all-too-rare opportunity to enter more deeply into the word of God in the gospels.
Members of our community, involved in ‘ The Asociation for Venezuela’ will be selling arepas (typical corn bread) next Sunday 3rd December after the 11:15 mass in the garden/parking meeting room at St Alphonse. The arepas will be accompanied by cheese, pork, other meats and salad. There will be cupcakes and juice for children also.
This is a good cause: a donation of €4,15 means that a child in Venezuela can be fed for a month — the scarcity of food means that Venezuela is the country with the highest average of infantile undernourishment.
W can eat and enjoy — all in a good cause.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
