FATHER ABEL’S COLUMN – DECEMBER 16TH 2018

St. John the Baptist preaching

Rejoice, for the coming of the Lord is near at last! As we draw closer to Christmas, we are reminded that our Savior has already come a God’s presence in our midst. Let us pray that we will always keep Him near to our hearts!

Next Monday, we will have our all-day Advent Penance. A priest will be available to hear confessions in the Church from 7:30 am to 8:00 pm.
Please take advantage of this before Christmas.

I wanted to thank those of you who came to the lighting of our parish Tree lighting last Saturday. It was a great way to get into the Christmas Spirit. A very special thank you to Fr. Henry and the members of the Spanish Community for all their help in decorating and getting us ready for this event.

God Bless
