FROM THE PASTOR The day is almost here! soon we will, once again, celebrate that great moment when God came to be with His people and took on flesh to save us all. May the joy, the wonder, the peace and the love of Christmas come to all of you and your families. May you all be blessed this Christmastide and feel the

love that God has for you as His child. I will be praying for all of you and for your intentions at the Christmas Masses. I would be remiss if I didn’t say a word of thanks to everyone in our Hispanic Ministry and also in the Knights of Columbus and to all who were involved in any way in last week’s bi-lingual Mass and fiesta in celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was beautiful, delicious and fun! Have a Blessed and a very Merry Christmas!
