On the first Sunday of the new year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the members and supporters of our parishes for joining us on our journey of faith. Thank you for attending every Holy Mass, for praying for the Church and for our parish, and for your support. I appreciate the fact that our parish is a vibrant community where we can see how we walk with God through life. 
Thank you for your love for our beautiful church and for your donations for its maintenance and upkeep. The coming year holds many unknowns, but I believe that God will never forget us. 
As Psalm 9 says, "Lord, you do not abandon those who seek you.

"May the New Year be a time dedicated to God, living with His blessing! May God protect you from evil, sickness, and misfortune. I pray that God blesses our community and its members in the New Year 2024! 
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who worked tirelessly to make our Christmas and New Year celebrations so beautiful. Firstly, a big thank you to Deacon Larry and his wife Therese, the Decoration Team, Music Ministry, Liturgical Ministry, Hospitality Ministry, Nancy, Vall, Larry, and all of you who care so deeply about our church. Your time and energy are truly appreciated.

God Bless.

As you arrange the Nativity scene on your coffee table or on your fireplace mantle or underneath your Christmas tree – wherever you place it – put the Wise Men and the shepherds around the Christ child, for there is the center of sanity in a large, crazy world. But don't forget Joseph. Put him even nearer to the Christ child. He's earned his place there. Because Joseph – the forgotten one, who just sort of hangs around the stable like a doorman or something and doesn't have any lines in the Christmas pageant – has much to teach us about the Christmas story, and about unwavering faith.
