The Pastor’s Christmas Message
Birthday of Jesus 2021
Dear Parishioner,
Merry Christmas! And do not be ashamed to wish
one another, “Merry Christmas”. While the word
“holiday” is a derivative of “holy day”, it is so
much more festive when we acknowledge what we
are celebrating---God bringing reconciliation
between us and Himself in the Incarnation. He
desires us to be partakers in His divine life.
Rejoice in the truth of Christmas: God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son... (John
3:16)
Rejoice in the message of Christmas: Jesus is the
Prince of Peace, bonding us to one another.
Rejoice in the promise of Christmas: God sent us a
Savior & Redeemer who has called us to partake
of His divine life.
Catholics celebrate Christ’s birthday with a Mass.
Hence, the word Christmas. Although Christmas
is celebrated one day each year, we should try to
keep the spirit of Christmas alive in our hearts all
year long loving, God and neighbor, the rich and
poor, friends and enemies! Merry Christmas!
In the Lord

Fourth Sunday of Advent
Dear Parishioners & Friends:
Today we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent. In Luke’s Gospel, Mary is “blessed… among women.” She
is not blessed because she carries Christ in her womb; but because she “believed.” We are all called to be like
Mary who responded with a joyful, trusting yes.
We’re blessed to have almost a full week to prepare ourselves spiritually and sacramentally.
Have you journeyed with us during the season of Advent, sharing in the Gospel stories of wonderful Advent
prophets, attending Mass, reflecting on Sacred Scripture, or frequenting the Sacrament of
Confession/Penance/Reconciliation? If not, I encourage you during this final week of Advent. What better gift
can you give yourself? Monday, December 20th is Reconciliation Monday here in the Archdiocese. Confession
times and Confessors are:
11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. ~ Fr. George (St. Charles, English)
3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. ~ Fr. Fenlon (Resurrection, Bilingual)
6:00 p.m. -8:00 p.m. ~ Fr. Wiggins (St. Charles, English)
As it has been the custom here in the Parish to decorate our churches in grandeur and splendor, the
Environment Committee needs hands on the following dates and times:
There are special schedules for the Christmas Octave (see page attached) as we give thanks for the great gift of
Jesus the Lord in our lives. Please remember your Christmas Gift to the Parish. THANK YOU for your 2021
financial support which helps us to keep our doors open, facilities maintained, and help the needy, especially during
the pandemic. "Do not lay up for yourselves an earthly treasure. Moths and rust corrode; thieves break in and
steal. Make it your practice instead to store up heavenly treasure, which neither moths nor rust will corrode, nor
thieves break in and steal. Remember, where your treasure is, there your heart is also. (MT 6: 19-20.
Please keep in mind the governor has issued a statewide vaccine/mandate December 10 (see link), which
applies to churches and parish offices and meeting spaces. The mandate is in effect beginning Monday,
December 13. It will be reassessed on January 15, 2022. As per the Archdiocese (effective December 13),
Parish office staff and visitors should wear masks at all times.
All parishioners are asked to wear masks while in church.
Priests, deacons and extraordinary ministers are to wear masks in entrance and
exit processions, at the time of the distribution of holy communion; and when in
close proximity with one another.
Communicants receive in the open hand rather than on the tongue.
The use of hand sanitizer before and after the distribution of holy communion is a
prudent practice.
Let's take this Masking Update seriously, especially during this festive season as we prepare to celebrate the
Birthday of Jesus! To quote a parishioner: “I think we've been pretty faithful to that practice…. I expect that
we'll keep that up.” AND WE WILL!

Fourth Sunday of Advent
As we soon will usher in 2022, I wish to alert you to the following:
Please adhere to our new COVID Protocols endorsed by the Parish Council and now
found on our website. In Christian charity, please cooperate for the safety of others.
The 2022 Mass Book is now open. I kindly ask you to use the new forms to process
your request. In addition to the reservation of Masses, we are now offering two (2)
memorials---the Bread and Wine & the Sanctuary Lamp. Names will appear in the
weekly bulletin.
New Offertory Envelopes beginning January 2022 were sent to all Registered
Parishioners who are on our envelope system. We will no longer be distributing the
entire year’s envelopes; you will receive an envelope every two months containing 8-9
weeks of envelopes. This will allow us to fluidly update addresses, welcome new
parishioners with current envelopes and save money on envelopes for parishioners that
may move during the course of the year. The decision to change the delivery method
was carefully considered. To assist us in keeping accurate records of your contribution,
we request that you use the weekly envelope system AND CLEARLY WRITE YOUR
DONATION ON THE ENVELOPE! This enables us to verify your donations should it be
necessary for tax purposes or a sacramental need. Please notify the Rectory if you
wish to receive envelopes or if you changed your address.
New Mass Schedule---please see the separate page regarding our new schedule for
2022.
The return of our ‘traditional’ bulletin (bilingual) will begin the weekend of January
8/9. Bulletins will be given out AFTER each Mass. They will also be found on our
website.
Weekend Receptionist Hours are Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. & Sundays
9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The Miraculous Medal Novena and the Sacred Heart Novena on Mondays and
Fridays, respectively, will resume on January 3, 2022, after the 8:30 a.m. Mass. These
prayers will be recited by the Celebrant. The congregation is encouraged to bring their
own copies.
Mensaje de Navidad del Párroco
Cumpleaños de Jesús 2021
Queridos Feligreses,
¡Felíz Navidad! Y no estén avergonzados de
desearse el uno al otro, ¡Felíz Navidad! El desea
que nosotros tomemos parte de Su Divinidad. Si
bien la palabra "día festivo" es un derivado de
"día santo", es mucho más festivo cuando
reconocemos lo que estamos celebrando– - Dios
trajo la reconciliación entre nosotros y A Sí
Mismo en la Encarnación. Él desea que seamos
partícipes de Su Divinidad.
Regocíjense en la verdad de la Navidad: Dios
amó tanto al mundo que dio a su Hijo
unigénito... (Juan 3:16)
Regocíjense en el mensaje de la Navidad: Jesús
es el Príncipe de la Paz, que nos une unos a
otros.
Regocíjense en la promesa de la Navidad: Dios
nos envió un Salvador y Redentor que nos ha
llamado a participar de Su vida divina.
Los católicos celebran el cumpleaños de Cristo
con la Misa. De ahí la palabra Navidad. Aunque
la Navidad se celebra un día al año, debemos
tratar de mantener vivo el espíritu Navideño en
nuestros corazones durante todo el año amando
a Dios y al prójimo, a los ricos y a los pobres, a
los amigos y a los enemigos. ¡Felíz Navidad!
En Nuestro Señor Jesús,
Rev. Timothy S. Wiggins, Párroco

Cuarto Domingo de Adviento
Queridos feligreses y amigos:
Hoy celebramos el cuarto domingo de Adviento. En el Evangelio de Lucas, María es "bendita entre las mujeres". Ella no
es bendecida porque lleva a Cristo en su vientre; sino porque ella "creyó". Todos estamos llamados a ser como María,
que respondió con un sí alegre y confiado.
Tenemos la bendición de tener casi una semana completa para prepararnos espiritual y sacramentalmente. ¿Haz caminado
con nosotros durante la temporada de Adviento, compartiendo las historias del Evangelio de maravillosos profetas de
Adviento, asistiendo a Misa, reflexionando sobre las Sagradas Escrituras o frecuentando el Sacramento de la Confesión /
Penitencia / Reconciliación? Si no, le animó que durante esta última semana de Adviento. ¿Qué mejor regalo puede darse
a sí mismo? El lunes 20 de diciembre es el lunes de reconciliación aquí en la Arquidiócesis. Los tiempos de confesión y
los confesores son:
11:00 a.m. ‐ 1:00 p.m. ~ P. George (San Carlos, Inglés)
3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. ~ P. Fenlon (Resurrección, Bilingüe)
6:00 p.m -8:00 p.m. ~ P. Wiggins (San Carlos, Inglés)
Como ha sido la costumbre aquí en la Parroquia de decorar nuestras iglesias en esplendor y estilo, el Comité de Medio
Ambiente necesita las siguientes fechas y horas: Martes, 12/21 empezando a las 11:00am @ SCB,
Jueves, 12/23 empezando a las 10:00am @ SCB.
Hay horarios especiales para la Octava de Navidad (ver página adjunta) cuando damos gracias por el gran regalo de Jesús
el Señor en nuestras vidas. Recuerde su regalo de Navidad para la parroquia. GRACIAS por su apoyo financiero para
2021, que nos ayuda a mantener nuestras puertas abiertas, mantener las instalaciones y ayudar a los necesitados,
especialmente durante la pandemia. “No os acumuléis tesoros terrenales. Las polillas y el óxido se corroen; los ladrones
entran y roban. En lugar de ello, hagan su práctica el acumular tesoros celestiales, que ni las polillas ni el óxido
corroerán, ni los ladrones minarán y robarán. Recuerde, donde está tu tesoro, allí también está tu corazón.” (MT 6: 19-
20.)
Tenga en cuenta que el gobernador emitió una vacuna / mandato en todo el estado el 10 de diciembre (ver enlace), que se
aplica a las iglesias, oficinas parroquiales y espacios de reunión. El mandato está en vigor a partir del lunes 13 de
diciembre. Será reevaluado el 15 de enero de 2022. Según la Arquidiócesis (a partir del 13 de diciembre),
• El personal de la oficina parroquial y los visitantes deben usar máscaras en todo momento.
• Se pide a todos los feligreses que usen máscarillas faciales mientras estén en la iglesia.
• Los sacerdotes, diáconos y ministros extraordinarios deben usar máscaras en la entrada y
procesiones de salida, en el momento de la distribución de la sagrada comunión; y cuando en
proximidad entre sí.
• Los comunicantes reciben con la mano abierta en lugar de con la lengua.
• El uso de desinfectante para manos antes y después de la distribución de la sagrada comunión es un
práctica prudente.
¡Tomemos esta actualización de enmascaramiento en serio, especialmente durante esta temporada festiva mientras nos
preparamos para celebrar el cumpleaños de Jesús! Para citar a un feligrés: “Creo que hemos sido bastante fieles a esa
práctica…. Espero que sigamos así ". ¡Y LO HAREMOS!

coopere por la seguridad de los demás.
El Libro de Misas del 2022 ya está abierto. Le pido amablemente que utilice los nuevos

método de administración. Para ayudarnos a mantener registros precisos de su
contribución, le pedimos que utilice el sistema de sobres semanales ¡Y ESCRIBA
CLARAMENTE SU DONACIÓN EN EL SOBRE! Esto nos permite verificar sus
donaciones en caso de que sea necesario para fines fiscales o una necesidad sacramental.

8:30 a.m. Estas oraciones serán recitadas por el Celebrante. Se anima a la congregación a
traer sus propias copias.
Reflection for The Fourth Sunday of Advent “Blessed are you among women” These well-known words from the prayer, the Hail Mary, or the “Ave Maria” come from the lips of Mary’s cousin Elizabeth in our Gospel reading for today. “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” This second phrase of our prayer, the Hail Mary, is perfect as we prepare celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus on Saturday. The first phrases of the prayer come from the Angel Gabriel when Mary is first invited to become the mother of the Savior; the second phrases now come from Elizabeth, our gospel reading reminds us today. This encounter of Mary and Elizabeth is what we call “the Visitation”: Mary, newly pregnant, visits her cousin Elizabeth, for the announcing angel Gabriel had mentioned Elizabeth’s marvelous late-age pregnancy to her. Our gospel of Luke tells us that at Mary’s greeting of Elizabeth caused a stirring in the womb of Elizabeth of her soon-to-be-born son, John the Baptist, what we now call a quickening. A part of our faith relates that the power of the Holy Spirit filled the still unborn John with the grace of God at this moment. Mary is conceived and born without stain of sin; John the Baptist is born without sin, born and filled with the Holy Spirit. And our prayer praising the mother of Jesus, the “Hail Mary”, comes primarily from these two passages from the Bible. The explicit name of her son, “Jesus” was added to the prayer in the twelfth or thirteenth century; the remaining phrase comes from the hopeful phrase that people have added when we call on God to share the same blessings with us that Mary shared with Elizabeth: “Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” Fr. Thomas Fenlon
Reflexión Del Cuarto Domingo de Adviento "Bendita Tú Entre Las Mujeres" Estas conocidas palabras de la oración, del Ave María o el "Ave María" provienen de los labios de Isabel, prima de María, en nuestra lectura del Evangelio de hoy. "Bendita tú entre todas las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu vientre". Esta segunda frase de nuestra oración, del Ave María, es perfecta mientras nos preparamos para celebrar el nacimiento de nuestro salvador Jesús el sábado. Las primeras frases de la oración provienen del ángel Gabriel cuando María es invitada por primera vez a convertirse en la madre del Salvador; las segundas frases ahora provienen de Elizabeth, nuestra lectura del evangelio nos recuerda esto hoy. Este encuentro de María e Isabel es lo que llamamos "la Visitación": María, recién embarazada, visita a su prima Isabel, porque el ángel Gabriel anuncia, menciona el maravilloso embarazo tardío de Isabel. Nuestro evangelio de Lucas nos dice que el saludo de María a Isabel provocó una conmoción en el vientre de Isabel de su hijo que pronto nacería, Juan el Bautista, lo que ahora llamamos un avivamiento. Una parte de nuestra fe relata que el poder del Espíritu Santo llenó al aún no nacido Juan con la gracia de Dios en este momento. María es concebida y nació sin mancha de pecado; Juan el Bautista nace sin pecado, nace y está lleno del Espíritu Santo. Y nuestra oración de alabanza a la madre de Jesús, el "Ave María", proviene principalmente de estos dos pasajes de la Biblia. El nombre explícito de su hijo, "Jesús", se añadió a la oración en el siglo XII o XIII; la frase restante proviene de la frase esperanzadora que la gente ha agregado cuando pedimos a Dios que comparta con nosotros las mismas bendiciones que María compartió con Isabel: “Ruega por nosotros pecadores ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén." Padre Thomas Fenlon,

2022 Announced Masses & Memorials
Dear Parishioners/Friends:
Arranging for a Mass to be offered for the repose of someone’s soul, the anniversary of his/her death for a
birthday blessing, or a special intention, is a traditional, practical, and consoling custom among Catholic people.
Here at the Parish, we invite you to reserve Masses for your loved ones. If you have specific dates and times, we
will try to honor them as best we can. Requests will be entered in the order received. If the date and time you
requested is not available, attempts will be made to schedule the Mass as close as possible to your requested
date and time.
We are trying to make this process as simple as possible for all involved. Please carefully read the instructions
and follow them so that we might accommodate as many requests as possible. The offering of mass intentions is
part of our Catholic liturgical practice so when Mass is reserved, the offering (stipend) of $15 is requested for
both Sunday and Weekday Masses. Unannounced Masses remain at $10. Mass cards are available. For the
time being, a total of 5 intentions will be accepted comprising 2 Sunday Masses and 3 weekday Masses. Due to
the pandemic and the suppression of the 11:45 a.m. Sunday Mass (SCB), we will continue to accept two
intentions at each Mass.
Monday through Saturday, our Daily Weekday Mass Schedule is 8:30 a.m. (SCB)
Saturday Vigil Mass is 5:30 p.m. (SCB, English)
Sunday Masses are 8:00 a.m. (SCB, English), 10:00 a.m. (RES, English), 10:00 a.m. (SCB, English) and 12:00

If you need to make changes, please come to the rectory office or call (212) 281-2100. Please be patient,
compliant and cheerful as we navigate the opening of the Mass book.

DECEMBER
Dear St. Charles Family,
In our busy world, our minds and bodies can get wrapped up in the hustle and
bustle and may have a hard time slowing down. It is also easy to get stuck
thinking about things from the past or in the future while forgetting to focus on
the here and now. We all start out with a healthy ambition to accomplish and
grow our abilities. Sometimes, when things don’t seem to come naturally to us,
it is easy to give up. We can’t! We need to think positively and persevere.
Anyone who excels in their field has come upon hard times. They succeeded
because they persevered and learned through experience. The children are our
future. We are role models for them. Let us take this busy time of year to reflect
and be prepared to hit the reset button starting January 1! We owe our children
the gift of love, time, and the ability to persevere. Wishing you a happy holiday
season. I hope you find time to do everything that is important to you and your
family
With prayer and gratitude,
Mrs. Natalia Rodrigo
