M Message
from the Pastor.
Most
of us, if we are honest enough to admit it,
believe that happiness comes through receiving.
Do you recall the main character in the Charles
Dicken’s novel A Christmas Carol? His
name was Ebenezer Scrooge. He was unhappy not
because of a failure to receive but to give.
This I submit is the most important message
of Christmas. Many of
us feel we will be happy if we receive (pick
one): a house, car, job,
promotion or a relationship. Christmas is a
good time of year to remind ourselves of the
truth. The most important message of Christmas
is that of joyous giving. Giving not for sordid
gain, but to give for its own sake. It is the
message of A Christmas Carol and It’s
A Wonderful Life by the great Italian-American
director Frank Capra. It is one of my favorite
movies. Giving is the message of the first
Christmas. The baby in Bethlehem’s manger
was a gift, a present from a loving Heavenly
Father to his lost, lonely and hurting children.
A gift that scripture says brought: “good
tidings of great joy to give and receive
alike.”
My dear ones, my prayer for this
Christmas season is that God bless all of
you in a special
way and bring you true joy, not in a material
sense, but a spiritual one. I also pray that
the new year brings
you peace.
God Love You. Fr. Sal |

Archbishop's
Annual Appeal
The Annual Appeal campaign is much different
than a one-time special collection. It
is a pledge campaign where you can make
a gift, payable over 10 months.
Your donation will touch
the lives of many others
in a very
positive
way. As
you consider
your gift to the Annual Appeal,
please reflect on God’s
gifts to you. He has given
you all that
you have.
Fr.
Sal will discuss
the details in church during
the weekend masses.
Thank You and God Bless You. |
