Dear St. George Families,

And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will." (Luke 2: 10-14)

As we complete our first semester at SGS, I extend my wishes and prayers to all members of the SGS family. May Christ be reborn in all our hearts this Christmas season.

God bless,
Jack Nelson
