Prayerful Greetings for Christmas

Posted : Dec-20-2023

I am very happy to wish you all my Prayerful Greetings as we enter the Christmas Season. The story of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is a reminder to us all that God came to live among us, to be close to us, and to save us from our sins. Jesus gave us Himself as a gift to us. It is a story that still rings true today.

He is close to us because he lives in our hearts where he continues to be a gift to us through His divine presence in each one of us and in our communion.

As we celebrate the Nativity of Jesus, we remain eternally grateful to God for all the blessings, especially for the gifts of life, family, faith community, friends and neighbors.

I take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely as you have been such a blessing to our parish by being active and supporting us with your gifts of time, talents and timely financial help.  Heartfelt gratitude goes to all members of parish ministries who do such a wonderful job in serving the various needs of our parish with much enthusiasm and commitment.

I hope and pray that you will have a blessed celebration of Christmas and welcome the New Year with renewed faith, hope and love.

Fr. Fernan Serrano
