December 20-21, 2025
Dear parishioners,
In these last days of Advent, we complete our spiritual preparation to once again welcome Christ, the newborn Prince of Peace, at Christmas. Know of my prayers for you and your loved ones as we wrap up this season and await the celebration of the Lord’s Nativity. Christ, who came to us in the flesh in his first coming, will come to us again in his second coming, and continues to come to us daily in the sacraments and in our prayerful contemplation of his mysteries and his works for us.
As a reminder, our Christmas Mass schedule is:
Christmas Eve
4:00 in Payne
10:00 in Paulding
Christmas Day
9:00 in Paulding
Please also note that we will be having 8:00am Mass in Payne this Friday, December 26, but we will not be having Mass on Friday, January 2 because I will be home with my family that day. That being said, we will be having our regular first Saturday Mass on Saturday, January 3.
Blessings to all of you for a joyful celebration of the Nativity of the Lord!
Fr. Ammanniti
