Dear Friends,

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, to people of good will!"

Today we celebrate the birth of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. We celebrate the love of the Father sending His only Son to save us.

I want to thank those who prepared our Advent retreats in English and Spanish, especially Agustina Temprano, Father Alex and Father DeForest. These days of reflection helped us prepare to celebrate this great feast.

I know that many of you enjoy the English and Spanish calendars we hand out each year. Since we had no sponsor this year, the cost to the parish was $2,2540.20., in case you would like to contribute to defray this expense.

In one more week we begin a new year. 2012 will be the 60th anniversary for our parish. As one way to celebrate our parish anniversary, I would like to renovate our sacristy as a tribute to EJ and Betty Dvorscak. As you know they have both given decades of their lives serving our parish. EJ has been a volunteer for 53 years, keeping the sacristy and our liturgies running smoothly. Betty has given years working on the Art and Environment Committee, and coming every Saturday to make sure the church is clean and ready for beautiful worship on Saturday evening and Sunday. Both Betty and EJ help make sure our church is beautifully decorated for each liturgical season. If you are interested in helping memorialize the sacristy in their names, showing our gratitude to them as a parish, please contact me at the rectory.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holy Days, too!

God Bless,

Father Kevin
