Christmas season

begins the evening

of December 24th.

This year it ends on

Sunday, January

12!

Dear Parishioners, If you have had a chance to drive by the parish rectory when it's been dark, you have probably noticed something in my window. No, not my giant husky Koda. In the front window I have hanging what is known as a "parol" (translated "Star"). The Filipino parol is unique, colorful and bright star. They sometimes depict images, such as the holy family. The tradition of the parol, of course, comes from the star that led the wise men to Christ's nativity. In the Philippines, the parol grew in usage as a way to light the path as the faithful would journey to worship at Church. This Christmas and Christmas season, what a joy it is to know that Christ lights our way. God's love radiates the world with light so that we will never be alone or lost. On behalf of St. Paul staff, I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas. May the light of Christ fill your hearts and homes. Maligayang Pasko. Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad, Fr. Tetzel Estimados feligreses, Si ha tenido la oportunidad de conducir por la rectoría de la parroquia cuando está oscuro, probablemente haya notado algo en mi ventana. No, no mi gigante perrito Koda. En la ventana delantera tengo colgado lo que se conoce como "parol" (traducido como "Estrella"). El parol filipino es una estrella única, colorida y brillante. A veces representan imágenes, como la sagrada familia. La tradición del parol, por supuesto, proviene de la estrella que llevó a los sabios a la natividad de Cristo. En Filipinas, el uso de la parol fue una forma de iluminar el camino a medida que los fieles viajaban para adorar en la Iglesia. Esta Navidad y temporada de Navidad, qué alegría es saber que Cristo ilumina nuestro camino. El amor de Dios irradia al mundo con luz para que nunca estemos solos o perdidos. En nombre del personal de St. Paul, les deseo a usted y a sus seres queridos una muy feliz Navidad. Que la luz de Cristo llene sus corazones y hogares. Maligayang Pasko. Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad, P. Tetzel
