A note from Fr. Tony Happy New Year! As we begin the year 2018, many people will announce that they have a new year’s resolution. A new year’s resolution can be anything. I believe that every single one of us should also be resolved to grow in our relationship with God. Our spirits need to be healthy and strong just like our bodies. Without a spirit that is constantly being renewed by God, then the daily grind will always pile up on us and cause us to lose hope and to give up. God gives us the strength to continue on when all seems impossible. Thank you for all the Christmas cards, prayers, well wishes, and gifts given to both Fr. Kevin and I. It is greatly appreciated, and we can never repay you for your kindness. Thank you to all those who have helped with and attended the Advent activities, planning of the Christmas Masses, those who decorated the churches, those who helped with the music, those who volunteered for the various liturgical ministries, and for everyone in between. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your dedication! Thanks and have a great week!
Una nota del P. Tony !Feliz Año Nuevo! Como comenzamos el año 2018, muchas personas anuncian que hicieron una resolución
para el nuevo año. La resolución para el año nuevo puede ser cualquier cosa. Yo creo que cada uno de nosotros debe estar resuelto a crecer en nuestra relación con Dios. Nuestros espíritus necesitan estar tan sanos y fuertes como nuestros cuerpos. Sin un espíritu constantemente renovado por Dios, entonces los desafíos diarios se nos amontonan y nos causan perder esperanza para rendirnos. Dios nos da el esfuerza para seguir cuando todo parece imposible.
Gracias por todas las tarjetas de la Navidad, las oraciones, buenos deseos, y regalos dados al Padre Kevin y a mí. Estamos muy agradecidos, y nunca podemos repagarles por su bondad. Gracias a todos quienes ayudaron y asistieron a las actividades del Adviento, planificación para las Misas de la Navidad, los y las que decoraron las iglesias, ayudaron con la música, sirvieron como voluntarios para los variados ministerios, y todos los demás. Desde lo más profundo de mi corazón, ¡gracias por su dedicación!
¡Gracias y tengan una buena semana!
