NEWSLETTER 24.12.23

22/12/2023 by John

The birth of JESUS is the best gift the world has ever received!


Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, Christmas is here again!  It’s the season of the birth of our Redeemer, the Only Begotten Son of God sent to bring us back into life with God.  It gives me a great joy to celebrate my second Christmas with you as your parish priest.

May Jesus be reborn in your heart and life during Christmas 2023 and every day of the New Year 2024.  May He radiate His presence from within you as sharing love, unconditional forgiveness, humble service, a compassionate heart and overflowing generosity. May the Holy Babe of Bethlehem bless you with health in body and soul and grant you a peaceful and blessed New Year.  I assure you of my special prayers during my Christmas Holy Masses and every day in the New Year.

Happy Christmas! I sincerely hope that the remembrance of Christ’s birth brings you much peace and hope. As we celebrate Christmas, I would like to thank you for your presence and all the support you give to the parish.

I extend a special welcome if you are joining us for the first time, if you are visiting from any other places or faith traditions, or if you do not worship with us on a regular basis.

Have a great Christmas with all your family and friends! God bless you!

Father Peter
