Happy New Year!… May 2023 be for each of us a year of peace, health, and happiness. May it be a time when we continue to grow in love for God and one another. As today we celebrate Mary, the Mother of God, may we imitate her faith throughout the year.

The season of Christmas… lasts until January 9th this year. So, don’t take down your Christmas tree just yet! Consider keeping your home decorations up for the entire Christmas season. Most importantly, may the spirit of Christmas always remain with us.

We’re grateful… to all who made our Christmas Masses so wonderful! Many thanks to our musicians for the glorious music. The church decorations are beautiful, thanks to all who gave of their time and talent. We’re grateful to our liturgical ministers for their faithful service at the liturgies, and to the many people who worshiped with us.

We’re also grateful… to parish staff members and parish organizations who worked so hard to make our Advent and Christmas events so meaningful.

Many thanks… to all who were so generous to your parish clergy at Christmastime. Your cards and gifts are truly appreciated.

All are invited… to the “Christmas Festival of Scripture and Song” that our Parish Music Ministry is presenting at St. Thomas More church this Friday evening, January 6th at 7:30 p.m. This annual event is a great way to continue to revel in the joy of the Christmas season. Mark your calendars!
