Christmas Greetings

Felicitaciones Navideas

Behold, I proclaim to you good news

of great joy that will be for all the
people.
For today in the city of David a
savior has been born for you who is
Christ and Lord (Luke 2:10-11).
We have finished the Advent journey with a
great desire of being the best prepared we can be
for this very day. Today. we celebrate the great
feast of Christmas. Today, we commemorate the
great historical event which took place in the
little town of Bethlehem of Judea; God becoming
a human being, born of a virgin. For the first
time in history, God reveals himself in the form
of a baby. And that is the mystery of the
Nativity of Jesus Christ.

"He aqu, yo os anuncio buenas nuevas

de gran gozo, que ser para todo el

pueblo.
Puesto que hoy en la ciudad de David,
un salvador ha nacido para usted, es
Cristo y Seor (Lucas 2: 10-11).
Hemos terminado el viaje de Adviento con un gran
deseo de estar lo mejor preparados que podamos
estar para el da de hoy. Este da, celebramos la gran
fiesta de la Navidad. Hoy, conmemoramos el gran
acontecimiento histrico que tuvo lugar en la
pequea ciudad de Beln de Judea; Dios se hizo un
ser humano y nacio de una virgen. Por primera vez
en la historia, Dios se revela en la forma de un beb.
Y ese es el misterio de la Natividad de Jesucristo.

As we recall, we began Advent filled with

hopes. We hoped for an increase of faith. We
hoped that Christs peace would come upon our
family and community. We hoped that our sins
would be forgiven and that our adversities would
be vanished. I am optimistic that with the arrival
of Christmas, all of our Advent hopes are now a
reality.

Como recordamos, comenzamos Adviento lleno de

esperanzas. Nos esperbamos un aumento en la fe.
Tenamos la esperanza de que la paz de Cristo
vendra sobre nuestra familia y comunidad.
Tenamos la esperanza de que nuestros pecados
seran perdonados y que nuestras adversidades se
desvanecieron. Me siento optimista de que con la
llegada de la Navidad, todas nuestras esperanzas de
Adviento son ya una realidad.

It does not seem like it was long ago that I

came to St. Patrick Parish. And yet, this is the
second Christmas that I celebrate with you. It
has been a great blessing working and
celebrating faith with you. I hope we can
celebrate many more Christmas together.
Today, I would like to say thank you all for your
dedication to St. Patrick Parish; and for your
time, prayers and generosity to your parish.

No parece como si hubiera sido hace mucho tiempo

que llegu a la Parroquia de San Patricio, y sin
embargo, esta es la segunda Navidad que celebro con
ustedes. Ha sido una gran bendicin trabajar y
celebrar la fe con ustedes. Espero que podamos
celebrar muchas ms Navidades juntos. Hoy, me
gustara decir gracias a todos por su dedicacin a la
Parroquia de San Patricio; y por su tiempo, oraciones
y generosidad a su parroquia.

As we celebrate Gods love at Christmas,

may we come to greater love and care for one
another. Merry Christmas!

Al celebrar el amor de Dios en Navidad, espero que

podamos aumentar amor y cuidado por los dems.
Feliz Navidad!

March for Life Pilgrimage: January 20th - January 24th

Monday, December 28th

On December
8th, the Feast of
the Immaculate
Conception, the
Church will begin
the jubilee year of
Mercy. This year
of Mercy comes
at a time when
our world is
tender with suffering, sin, and sadness. Families are
enduring physical and mental illness, separation, and
death. Communities are divided along racial,
religious, and political lines. Global terrorist attacks
are intensifying and suggest, as Pope Francis stated,
that we are entering piecemeal into WWIII. The
Jubilee of Mercy is the antidote that can restore hope,
increase faith, and spread love.

Reading for December 27

Not finding [Jesus], they returned
to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him
in the temple, sitting in the midst
of the teachers, listening to them
and asking them questions, and all who heard him
were astounded at his understanding and his answers.
- Lk 2:45-47

Pray about the Priesthood and have dinner with the Bishop. (See page 3)
