Dear Sisters in Christ,
Dear Sisters in Christ,
The Court’s Advent theme is Pilgrims of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. We celebrated Advent by Candlelight on Sunday, November 30th . It was a beautiful program written by Barbara Sundust; and thanks to the committee it was a successful event. There were
approximately 120 ladies in attendance. We were blessed to have Deacon Pat Abiles, from St. Helen of the Cross in Eloy, share his reflections on the four candles with the group.
As we prepare ourselves for the celebration of the birth of Jesus, let us share our love, kindness, talents with our family, friends and the people we meet on a daily basis. I wish you all a blessed Advent and a Merry Christmas!
In unity and charity,
Carolann DiMuzio
Regent
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

A Letter from Our Chaplain
Our Chaplain offers a spiritual reflection, guiding our members to deepen their faith and service through the example of St. Anthony and the Blessed Mother.
Dear Members and Friends,
We wish to inform you that our Court’s Chaplain is currently on personal leave. During this time, we ask for your prayers as we await the appointment of a new Chaplain to guide and support us in our spiritual journey.
Let us continue to lift up our Court in prayer and trust that God will soon bless us with a devoted spiritual advisor to walk alongside us in faith and service.
With gratitude and hope,

Bingo Night Success
Thursday night’s bingo was another wonderful success with 65 people in attendance. Regent Carolann, along with Betty, Susan G., Susan Z., Mary Lee, and Lucille, helped ensure a smooth and lively evening. Jody served as cashier, and Maria was our caller.
We also celebrated October, November, and December birthdays, adding extra joy to the night.
Two guests won the Betty Boop game, and four players split the Power Ball prize.
Thank you to all who volunteered and participated—your support keeps our court ministries thriving!
