My prayer is that the Blessings of this Holy Season will be yours and that the God who loves us so much will continue to come to birth in your life. Christmas is a reminder that the one who once walked among us, and shared the same joys and hopes, also shared the same challenges and fears that we face each day. He showed us throughout his entire life that his faith in the one whom he called Abba -Father never faltered. He trusted that the unconditional love, the unbounded forgiveness of God was always with him as he walked the dusty roads of Nazareth and even has he climbed the long road to Calvary. This year my hope is that the Community of Christ the Servant Parish will continue to trust in the unconditional love and the unbounded forgiveness of our God. I know that the Lord will continue to walk the dusty roads of our neighborhood and I believe that He will continue to knock on the door of our hearts and homes seeking a place to call home. I trust that He will be with us in good times and in bad times, in times that we are richer and times that we are poorer, in times that we are sick and in times that we are well and that He will always be faithful to us. This is a hope that will guide our steps each day as the Community of Christ the Servant Parish.

Please know that you and your intentions will be remembered in the Celebration of the Christmas Masses this year. Let us also pray for the deceased members of our parish and our families; for those of our families who are lost or are abandoned; for those who are ill and homebound; and for those who have no one to pray for them. Merry and Blessed Christmas and may all your hopes and dreams for the New Year be fulfilled. Msgr. LGaetano
