Christmas
Blessings from Deacon Jim & Cheryl,
We
have spent all of Advent in anticipation of this moment, this time of
celebration, Christmas Day! Just as the
children toss away the paper, ribbon, and boxes we too discard whatever is in
the way of our receiving the gift God has for us, the gift of salvation.
Christmas
is indeed a time of giving and receiving gifts.
As we reflect on this wonderful time of year, Cheryl and I are thankful
for the gifts of the relationships and friendships that we have been blessed
with from all of you.
Thank
you Christ Jesus for your gift of self to all of humanity. Thank you Christ Jesus for the gift of
allowing us the blessing to work and serve the good people of God at Immaculate
Conception and Sacred Heart.
May
Christ bless all of you this Christmas.
You are a gift from God to us and our family. Your support and prayers through the
challenging times as well as the times of celebration have been among the
greatest gifts we have received. Thank you to all for being such a loving,
caring and welcoming faith family. We
pray that God will bless you all this very special season. Merry Christmas.
Deacon Jim and
Cheryl Patera
