Christmas Service Projects
ASR students decorate their
classrooms for Christmas.
During this Christmas season,
we are reminded of our many
blessings and the task assigned
to us by Jesus, namely that we
are to “Love one Another.”
In keep-ing with our mission and
Catholic traditions, our student council led several
Christmas Service Projects in which the entire student body participated.
Students sponsored a toy drive for the Toys for
Tots program. Student collected unwrapped presents for children less fortunate then ourselves.
A coat drive, collecting coats of all sizes along with
fleeces, sweatshirts, gloves hats. and scarf's to help
spread the warmth.
Students wrote letters to Santa as part of the Macy’s
“Believe” Program. For each letter written, Macy’s
donates to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Christmas cards, pictures and letters were sent to
the Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes so that we
could brighten the Christmas Season for our troops
severing both hear and overseas.
Students and teachers put aside one afternoon to
decorate their classrooms and the school. Christmas
music was played throughout the building while students decorated and enjoyed Christmas treats.
Registration for the 2014-2015 school
year is ongoing.
Contact Carol Filippone in our Registration Office.

Bulletin Reflection
All the people in today’s readings - the prophet
Isaiah, the Virgin Mary, St. Paul, St. John the
Baptist - seemed to understand clearly and rejoice
in what God was calling them to be and to do. Do I
understand...and rejoice?
Living Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our
parish who announce the coming of Christ by
increasing their acts of anonymous charity to
worthy organizations during this season of giving.
We are in need of non-perishable food items such as
coffee, tea, juice, pasta, soup, peanut butter, jelly, cereal,
canned fruits and vegetables in addition to toothpaste,
soap, toilet paper and shampoo. Donations may be
brought to the parish office or left in the bin at the back
of the church.
