Listed below are a few of the items from this week's bulletin. See the bulletin for more details and to read all of the announcements.
SECOND ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CAROLING: Holy Comforter’s Christmas Caroling will be on
Sunday, December 13th at 9:30 a.m. Gather in the Commons to sing the blessings of Advent & Christmas. All voices are needed and welcomed!
SOPRANOS, TENORS, AND BASSES NEEDED: The choir is in need of additional singers. Please contact Bill Polhill at gwp@holycomforterparish.org or speak to him after Mass if you are interested!!
FIRST ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CARD SALE: The parish is offering Christmas cards for sale. The picture on the car is a glorious photo of our 2009 Christmas Sanctuary. The price is $10 per package of 10 cards, and the cards are available to be purchased in the commons area after all masses.
CHARLOTTESVILLE CATHOLIC SCHOOL ADMISSIONS: We are currently accepting applications for the 2010-2011 school year. Please visit our website for comprehensive information about Charlottesville Catholic School and our application process. If you would like to tour our school, please call Ann Michel, Admissions Coordinator, at (434)964-0400. Limited seats are also available for the current school year.
PHILOSOPHY CLUB: The next meeting will discuss the future of the Philosophy Club. Since its inception several videos have been viewed and discussed, good conversation has been hard regarding the famous and seminal "allegory of the cave" in Plato’s Republic, Henry Bugbee’s book Inward Morning has been studied together, Karl Jaspers' Reason and Existenz was discussed for four or five meetings, and, most recently, we read and discussed the Meditations on First Philosophy of Rene Descartes. The Holy Comforter Philosophy Club takes for its mission and purpose the clarification and enhancement of our thinking. Our home is within the Catholic intellectual tradition, especially--but not exclusively--as this tradition interfaces with contemporary religious and secular thought. Membership in the Club is open to all interested members and friends of the Holy Comforter Congregation. All are welcome.
The Philosophy Club continues to meet on the second Sunday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Bernard Moore Room, Lower Level of the church. For information, please contact Suzanne Bailey at 296-5033 or Suzanne Bailey.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: The rescheduled annual Memorial Mass for the deceased brothers of Father Louis A. Rowen Council 3670 will be held on Saturday December 12th at Holy Comforter at 9:00 a.m. A reception will follow. Father Gerald Fogarty will be the celebrant.
BI-PARISH HAITI COMMITTEE: The committee next meets at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 13th at St. Thomas Aquinas. This will be a potluck lunch. All are welcome. To learn more, contact Laurie Duncan at Laurie Duncan.

PANTRY: This is the time of the year when we are bombarded with pleas to help the needy through food or monetary donations. But the people of Holy Comforter know that need is year-round. The people who are hungry during the Christmas season will still be hungry in January and in June. So please make generous holiday donations, but remember to continue your support of the pantry after the holidays are over.
IMPACT: Why is it so difficult for us to work for justice? One common reason is that we personally are not immediately affected by injustice. But many years ago John Donne stated that "no man is an island." We are all connected whether we see it immediately or not. So, if anyone in this area is a victim of injustice, we are all involved. IMPACT is the way in which local people of God have come together to work for justice.
