CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
FROM FATHER STEF:
Two weeks ago I used as the springboard for my homily these
words from the Collect of the Mass:
. . . enable us, we pray,
to attain the joys of so great a salvation
and to celebrate them always
with solemn worship and glad rejoicing.
In these words I find my Christmas wish for you:
May your celebration of Christmas
be full of meaningful worship and glad rejoicing, and bring you closer to
attaining your goal, salvation in Christ forever.
God bless you all,
Fr. Stef
