As we celebrate the Nativity of Jesus, we remain eternally
grateful to God for all the blessings, especially for the gifts of life,
family, faith community, friends and neighbors. I take this
opportunity to thank you most sincerely as you have been such a
blessing to our parish by being active and supporting us with your
gifts of time, talents and timely financial help.
My special gratitude goes to all the volunteers in our different
ministries who do such a wonderful job in serving the various
needs of our parish with much enthusiasm and commitment. I
hope and pray that you will have a wonderful and blessed time
during this Christmas Season.
Together with Father Anthony and Deacon Chris Kingston, I
wish you all a blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
May God bless you abundantly during this Christmas Season as
well as during the New Year.
Merry Christmas
Father Keith Goldrup
