Hello everybody!
Congratulations to the St. Pats Drama for their excellent performance Elf over the weekend. The three public shows were sold out! Fr. Loi made a guest appearance as a narwhal and I was inspired to see the gifts of so many children and volunteers in action. Thanks to all!
We continue to make good progress toward our Catholic Services Appeal goals. I am confident in your generosity that we will meet our dollar goal, but we continue this year to emphasize the importance of participation. We have reached 218 donors for our goal of 537. The school contest for participation is in full swing and we are excited by the enthusiasm and dedication of our faculty and families. In the past three years, this component of our efforts has brought in 228 new donors to CSA. Thanks to all who have contributed thus far! Please consider making an impact in the lives of individuals and parish communities through a donation to CSA. Ask God what he wants to do for the good of others through you.
Our Angel Tree still has some angels left to help children in need this Christmas season. Thanks to those who have already returned gift cards! Your generosity helps make the celebration of the birth of Jesus a time of happiness and joy.
As we approach the end of the liturgical year with the celebration of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe this weekend and prepare for the Advent Season of anticipation, may we all be given the grace to encounter Jesus more deeply and follow him more closely in our journey through this life and into the next.
Peace,
Fr. Jeff
