CHRISTMAS GOOD WISHES
I would like
to take this opportunity to wish all of our families peace of
mind, peace of soul, and peace of heart during this Christmas time. May your homes be happy and peaceful places, and
may our loving savior find a warm welcome in our hearts and souls during this special time
of year. Merry Happy Christmas to all! - Fr. Ruane
CHRISTMAS
Please join
us Christmas Eve at
REMEMBER
Sometimes we
forget that the loneliest people at Christmas time are the sick, suffering, and confined;
those not able to get up and around. So, let
us say a special prayer that the good Lord will visit them with peace and contentment.
OUR TROOPS
Let us also
remember our troops involved in the very dangerous war, that God will protect their lives. We realize that their families at home must worry
greatly about their dear ones: fathers,
mothers, sons, daughters, etc. Let us remember
all of them in prayer.
CHRISTMAS FLOWERS
