Dear Parishioners and Guests for Christmas:
Today is born our Savior, Christ the Lord! Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God is
Emmanuel, God-with-us. In a world that
is full of contradictions and scandals, we are reminded that the God Who made
the universe and all that is in it took on our human condition in the form of a
tiny Child, the Baby in the Manger.
Embracing all the limitations and weaknesses of our world, the Son of
God chose to love through our humanity and to return us to the condition that
the Father willed for us from the beginning.
Christmas tells us that light can penetrate darkness. The brightness of the Star of the newborn
Child in Bethlehem conquers the night. We
can believe that God is with us and we are given a reason to hope for salvation.
We welcome all who are with us for the celebrations of
Christmas. Be sure of our prayer for you
throughout the year. Please join us whenever
you can.
May the Spirit
of the Living God, Who brought about the Incarnation of His Son, born of the Virgin
Mary, fill your heart with joy. May God,
Who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit smile upon us and teach us how to open our
hearts and our lives to His plans for all the world. May the human race be brought to wholeness by
the coming of Emmanuel.
