Many Thanks A special word of thanks to the volunteers along with
our maintenance and parish staff who once again beautifully
decorated both our upper and lower church for Christmas. Our parish
is especially grateful for your financial contributions for
Christmas flowers and poinsettias. Your generosity to St.
John-Visitation Parish at Christmas and throughout this past year,
especially with the financial impact of the pandemic, is greatly
appreciated. Your continued support assists with our parish’s
various pastoral activities, programs, building expenses,
charitable outreach, and administrative costs. Many thanks and may
God continue to bless us abundantly in the New Year 2021 ahead. Did
You Know? Various Christmas traditions and customs in the United
States originated from different cultures and countries throughout
the world. Manger Scenes/Creches – The first manger scene began in
1223 in Greccio, Italy when Saint Francis of Assisi assembled the
Nativity scene with real people and live animals Christmas Trees –
The origin of using the Christmas tree is traced to different
sources. The Romans and Egyptians used trees in their celebration
and decorations whereas others note this practice originating in
Germany. Santa Claus – Based upon the life of Saint Nicholas, a 4th
century bishop from Myra, Asia Minor (present day country of
Turkey) who was renowned for his charitable
concern for those in need. The tradition of arrival of Santa Claus
to give gifts to children on the night before Christmas began in
Northern Europe and was introduced to America by Dutch settlers.
Carols – The practice of singing carols and going from home to home
caroling began in England after the Norman Conquest Gift Giving –
This custom is based upon the gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh that the Magi brought to the Christ Child and the celebration
of the “The Three Kings” Yule Log – The yule log was used a hearth
in a family’s home to burn await the wrongs of the year. The ashes
were saved to protect the home from storms and to heal wounds as
well as making fields and flocks fertile. The yule log is started
by burning a piece of the log from the previous year. It became a
popular custom in numerous European countries. Greenery –
Evergreens are symbolic of eternal life. Holly represents Christ’s
crown of thorns. Christmas Cookies – The practice of making
Christmas cookies began in northern Europe where these treats were
given as gifts and used to decorate trees. Lights – With the
celebration of Christmas coinciding with the winter solstice in the
Northern hemisphere, the decorative use of Christmas lights serve
as are reminder that Jesus is the true light coming into world to
dispel the darkness of sin. This custom began in Germany with
candles used to decorate the Christmas tree and became used more
extensively with the technological advance of electricity. In
Ireland, the practice of placing candles in the windows was a way
to celebrate welcoming the true light of Christ into our homes and
lives Posadas - The wordposadameans "inn" or "shelter" in Spanish,
and in this tradition, Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem and
their search for a place to stay is re-enacted.This practice of
celebrating a novena (nine days of prayer) prior to Christmas
originated in Mexico. Poinsettia - A plant called by the Mexicans
as the “Flower of the Holy Night” primarily for its bright,
star-like flowers that are a reminder of the Star of Bethlehem. Dr.
Joel Poinsett, the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico brought this plant
back when he returned home in 1829 and soon this plant became used
in other parts of the world for Christmas decorations and was named
after him.
2021 Calendars Once again, our parish obtained the calendars from
The Catholic Extension Society by paying the printing expenses for
them. This parish donation is made to strengthen the presence and
mission of the Catholic Church in under-resourced Catholic
communities across
the United States. Remaining calendars may be obtained following
weekend Parish Masses.
Church Seating: Please Be Considerate The limited church seating
capacity and the configuration to accommodate the seating of
individuals, two persons, and households with four members do not
allow choosing where one desires to sit in the church at weekend
parish Masses. Individuals who insist on sitting in locations
designated for two persons or households are being inconsiderate
and selfish; likewise, who come after Mass has begun and walk up to
sit in the front part of the church create worship distractions for
those who arrived on time. Please follow the directions of parish
staff/greeter/usher for seating at weekend parish and Epiphany
Masses. Unfortunately, the changes and personal inconveniences
caused by the pandemic’s restrictive health guidelines have become
realities for our parish’s worship life.

Muchas gracias Un agradecimiento especial a los voluntarios junto
con nuestro personal de mantenimiento y parroquial que, una vez
más, decoraron bellamente nuestra iglesia superior e inferior para
Navidad. Nuestra parroquia está especialmente agradecida por sus
contribuciones financieras para flores de Navidad y poinsettias. Su
generosidad a la parroquia St. John-Visitation en Navidad y durante
todo el año pasado, especialmente con el impacto financiero de la
pandemia, es muy apreciada. Su continuo apoyo ayuda con las
diversas actividades pastorales, programas, gastos de construcción,
alcance caritativo y costos administrativos de nuestra parroquia.
Muchas gracias y que Dios continúe bendiciéndonos abundantemente en
el Año Nuevo 2021 que se avecina. Sabias? Que varias tradiciones y
costumbres navideños en los Estados Unidos son originalmente de
otras culturas y países de todo el mundo. El Pesebre - El primer
pesebre fue hecho en 1223 en Greccio, Italia cuando San Francisco
de Assisi armo una escena de la Natividad con personas y animales
vivos. Árbol de Navidad – Esta tradición del Arbol de Navidad se
traza de diferentes fuentes. Los Romanos y Egipcios usaron arboles
en sus celebraciones y para decoración mientras otros notan el
origen de este costumbre en Alemania. Santa Claus – Basado en la
vida de San Nicolás, un obispo del cuarto siglo de Myra, Asia Menor
(País actual, Turquía) que era reconocido por su caridad y
dedicación a los necesitados. La tradición de la llegada de Santa
Claus para darles regalos a los niños en la noche antes de la
Navidad comenzó en el norte de Europa y fue introducido a América
por los pobladores Holandeses. Villancicos – Esta practica de ir
cantando de casa a casa comenzó en Inglaterra después de la
conquista Normanda. Tronco Navideño – El tronco navideño era
quemado en el hogar para consumir las faltas del año que estaba a
punto de terminar. Las cenizas eran guardadas para proteger el
hogar de tormentas y para sanar las heridas y también para que los
campos y rebaños prosperan. El tronco navideño se enciende con un
pedazo del tronco del año anterior. Luego se popularizado en varios
países Europeos. El Verdor – Hojas perennes simbolizan la vida
eterna. “Holly” representa la corona de espinas de Cristo. Galletas
Navideñas – esta práctica comenzó en el norte de Europa donde estas
delicias eran dadas como regalos y usadas como adorno. Luces de
Navidad – Con la celebración de Navidad coincidiendo con el
solsticio de invierno del hemisferio
norte, el uso de luces de Navidad sirve para recordarnos que Jesus
es la luz que viene al mundo para eliminar la oscuridad que trae el
pecado. Esta costumbre comenzó en Alemania con candelas que
decoraban el árbol de Navidad y se usó más con la invención de la
electricidad. En Irlanda, se colocaban candelas en las ventanas
para celebrar la venida de la luz de Cristo en sus hogares y vidas.
Posadas – Esta es la tradición de recrear el viaje de Maria y Jose
a Belén y su búsqueda por un hogar para quedarse. Días antes de la
Navidad se hace una novena y esta práctica tiene su origen en
México. Poinsettia - Una planta llamada por los mexicanos como la
"Flor de la Noche Santa" principalmente por sus flores brillantes,
en forma de estrella, que son un recordatorio de la Estrella de
Belén. El Dr. Joel Poinsett, el embajador de Estados Unidos en
México, trajo esta planta cuando regresó a casa en 1829 y pronto
esta planta se usó en otras partes del mundo para decoraciones
navideñas y recibió su nombre. Calendarios 2021 Una vez más,
nuestra parroquia obtuvo los calendarios de The Catholic Extension
Society mediante el pago de los gastos de impresión. Esta donación
parroquial se hace para fortalecer la presencia y misión de la
Iglesia Católica en comunidades católicas de escasos recursos en
los Estados Unidos. Los calendarios restantes se pueden obtener
después de las misas parroquiales de fin de semana. Asientos de la
iglesia: tenga en cuenta La capacidad limitada de asientos de la
iglesia y la configuración para acomodar los asientos de
individuos, dos personas y hogares con cuatro miembros no permiten
elegir dónde se desea sentarse en la iglesia durante las misas
parroquiales de fin de semana. Los individuos que insisten en
sentarse en lugares designados para dos personas u hogares están
siendo desconsiderados y egoístas; Del mismo modo, quienes vienen
después de que ha comenzado la misa y caminan para sentarse en la
parte delantera de la iglesia crean distracciones de adoración para
quienes llegaron a tiempo. Siga las instrucciones del personal de
la parroquia / saludador / acomodador para sentarse en la parroquia
de fin de semana y misas de epifanía. Desafortunadamente, los
cambios e inconvenientes personales causados por las restrictivas
pautas de salud de la pandemia se han convertido en una realidad
para la vida de culto de nuestra parroquia. Apoye a nuestra
parroquia mediante donaciones en línea Como otros feligreses, es
