Prayer at Christmas
Lord, on this Christmas Day, in the midst of the joy of
our celebrations, help us recall what is truly important about this day.In the midst of
opening presents,help us remember the love that each gift represents. In the midst of
Christmas dinner,help us remember that You are the source of life. In the midst of family
gatherings, help us remember that You are the fullness of joy.And in the midst of
Christmas Mass, help us remember the supreme act of love, sacrifice, and
humility that we celebrate on this Christmas day when your Son came as a helpless, unknown
baby and grew to be the life and light of the world. Amen.
Christmas Joy
"Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom His
favor rests."
Father John and the Staff wish you and your loved ones a
holy and joyous Christmas and holiday season.
Parish Mission
I would guess that our spiritual preparation for
Christmas has been greatly enhanced by those who took advantage of our Parish Mission. I
was inspired and I think those who attended were also. I hope the next time Father
Lukefahr comes others will take advantage of his spiritual insights.
I would like to thank all of those wonderful people who
donated their time in making the Mission such a big success i.e. the people who prepared
the meals, the Knights who were on the welcoming committee, the Priests who gave of their
time to hear confessions, and all the people who participated in the liturgical
celebrations. I hope I haven’t missed anyone, but I am trying to thank each and every
one of you. I am so proud to be your Pastor. Let us go forward in celebrating this joyful
season.
