CHRISTMAS

Dear Parishioners,

Merry Christmas! With great longing, we have been preparing our hearts and our homes for this day. As the Scripture tells us, “Today is born our Savior— Christ the Lord!” As we gather with family and friends, let us remember the reason we celebrate Christmas: The Word became flesh and dwells among us! His name is Jesus. He is Emmanuel a name which means ‘God-with-us!’” In the midst of darkness and sadness, the world rejoices because Jesus our Savior has been born for us!

Holy Moments, a book by Matthew Kelly is my personal gift to St. Peter Parish. The books are available at all the entrances of the church. May we take time to experience the “holy moments” of our day.

On behalf of the staff of St. Peter Parish and Cemetery and St. Peter School, I wish you a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus the Christ, may His Light shine in and through us today and every day!

Merry Christmas!
