Dear Parishioners and Guests for Christmas:
We welcome you to St. Timothy Church as we join together to celebrate the Coming of Immanuel,
God with Us, in Jesus Christ. The joy of
this celebration is a reminder to us that God is present to us in every age. The Church Fathers tell us that Joy is the
infallible sign of God’s Presence. We
know the Story of Bethlehem
Pope Francis has invited
us all to celebrate this year as a Jubilee Year of Mercy. We are called to acknowledge the Gift of
Mercy, God’s Love offered to us after we have rejected it. Opening our hearts to that Mercy, we are to
become a sign of the availability of God’s Love and Mercy to all. May we live this Jubilee of Mercy, showing
the merciful face of God our Father to the world.
January 18-31, St.
Timothy Parish will be hosting the Image of the Sacred Heart that was blessed
at the re-consecration of the Diocese of Columbus made by Bishop Campbell on
the Feast of the Sacred Heart this past year.
Special indulgences and graces are associated with this devotion. May we all grow in our knowledge of God’s
Love and of His call to share Jesus Christ with the world.
A Blessed Christmas to
All!
Rev. Timothy M. Hayes, Pastor
