A community full of faith

Merry Christmas (still)!
As the Christmas season winds down we continue to marvel at the wonder of the Incarnation. Here in the parish we see signs of a vibrant faith in the many gatherings, liturgies and celebrations we have been having. This week we celebrated 5 funerals which, though challenging for many of us, provided opportunities for families and friends to gather to express their faith in the Resurrection. As well the children are back in school, filling the halls and classrooms with joy and life once again. Last night we welcomed the Notre Dame Folk Choir for a delightful concert, and the many folks who attended contributed over $1600 for our St. Vincent de Paul ministry. May the joy of Christmas always be at the center of this community!
