St. Nicholas Christmas Baking Contest
 
Bake your best Christmas sweet for the St. Nick’s priests to judge and eat!
 
Grocery gift certificates will be awarded to first, second & third place, but first place will also get a feature on the web page with the option to post their recipe.
 
Rules:
  1. Bake a sweet treat you love to make for your family and friends at Christmas. Cookies, empanadas, fudge, Yule logs…if you make it for Christmas, you can enter.
  2. Bring your treat to the parish hall kitchen BEFORE Mass so it can be given a number for a blind taste test. The priests will not know who baked what.
 
-Fathers Michael, Vladimir, & Ivanildo will be given a bite or small portion of your dessert.
-They will score each dessert on a scale of 1-10. Lynn & Kellie will add up the scores at the end, & the top 3 will win!
-The rest of your Christmas treat will be shared with the parish during the St. Nicholas Day festivities.
 
PLEASE FILL OUT THE ENTRY FORM BELOW & CUT ON THE LINE. FORMS MUST BE TURNED IN TO THE OFFICE NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 25. Your name & dessert will NOT be shown to the judges. This form is only so we can assign a random number and award prizes to the correct person.

Christ the King

Today we celebrated Christ the King with our guest, Franciscan Brother Desmond. He delivered a beautiful homily about the kingdom of God on Earth, citing the homeless feeding program and Count Your Blessings campaign among some of the things we do at St. Nicholas in service of the Kingdom.

He drew comparisons and made contrasts with the legend of King Arthur, highlighting that the pinnacle of Christ’s glory in the Gospel of John is Christ asserting the Kingdom of God to Pilate.

Here are 2 very similar pictures from the day, because we couldn’t get 2 smiling holy men to keep their eyes open at the same time.

An Attitude of Gratitude

We are grateful for our clergy and visiting clergy! It was quite a festive Thanksgiving Mass when Father Ivanildo turned up with two Roman Catholic priests. We all went home with blessed wine and bread for our Thanksgiving table, calling to mind the one out of ten healed lepers who came back to thank Jesus.

Father Michael recounted all the many heath benefits of gratitude, & told the parish how grateful he was for them — especially for Father Vladimir Divas, who also delivered a stirring homily.
