Today we celebrate one of the greatest celebrations in the Catholic faith: the Nativity of the Lord. It is with great joy that we celebrate Christmas because it actually fulfills what the prophet Isaiah had foretold the people of Israel: one day the Savior shall be born for you. Not only did Jesus Christ come for them but for all people. When the angels had announced to the shepherds that the Savior had been born, they announced it to the entire world. The world has been blessed by the birth of Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is a joy we renew once again as we celebrate this great solemnity.
On behalf of your pastor, Bishop Callahan, I extend best wishes and remembrances in my prayers to you and your families for a very Blessed Christmas. Also, I want to thank all those of our parish family for the time, talent and treasure which they give so generously. May the Lord bless and reward you for your goodness. A Merry Christmas to you and your families!
Thank you and God bless you.
Fr. Stoetzel
