Dear St. Boniface families:
As we journey through the season of Advent, we continue to prepare our hearts to welcome the Lord at
Christmas. Many of us will similarly prepare our homes to welcome loved ones over the holidays. Our
special holiday touches and traditions provide a warm welcome to the family and friends who will grace
our homes throughout this season. After two years where this was mostly not possible, this year’s
celebrations will undoubtedly take on a special significance.
Just as our homes have missed the presence of loved ones these past two years, our parish community
has truly missed the presence of the whole community gathered together in worship. When all the
members of our parish family are not gathered with us around the Lord’s Table, our community is
incomplete.
Please accept our warm and heartfelt invitation to join us for Mass this Christmas. If you have been
away from the parish community, whether for a short time or a long time, we warmly welcome you
home with open arms. If you attend Mass regularly, we thank you for your presence and we ask that
you please extend this invitation to family, friends and neighbors.
Please know that it is our desire to have you join us for the celebration of Mass, and we are praying that
every member of our community may accept our invitation to Come Home for Christmas! Be assured if
you are not able to attend this Christmas that our prayers and best thoughts are with you and your
families. The Christmas schedule is listed below.
Yours, in Christ,
Father Peter Meyer

This morning we had our second Advent Liturgy in the chapel.
As we light the candle for the second week of Advent, the candle we call LOVE, sometimes called the “Bethlehem candle”or the Preparation candle, we are reminded that God kept his promise of a Savior, who would be born in Bethlehem.
One day John told them,
“I can wash you with water, but a very special person is coming who will baptize you with God’s spirit and wash away all your sins.” Matthew 3:11

Hi Everyone,
Please see the letter with respect to the current staffing shortage in our school.
December 1 2022
Just a friendly reminder to our families to park along Trowbridge street (not in front of driveways) and use the crosswalk at Starlight avenue to bring their children to school where an adult supervisor will be present at 8:55 am. Families can also use the kiss and drop zone in the parking lot at the end of Starlight avenue (just before the dead end), where students can walk along the pathway between the YMCA daycare playground and the chain link fence to the blacktop behind the school, where an adult supervisor will be present at 8:55 am. Please remember not to park in the spaces in front of the school, the daycare, or the designated handicap spaces.
Cars are not permitted in the school parking lot during bus loading times before and after school.
Please use extra caution when driving on the roads in our school zone to ensure the safety of our students and community.
Thank you very much for your cooperation on this important safety issue.
