When we think of the story of Christmas, we usually think of the "infancy narrative" of Luke's Gospel: Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem, no room in the inn, Jesus laid in the manger, angels, and shepherds. This is the familiar account of Christ's birth, and we are surrounded by reminders of it during the Christmas season—songs and stories and images.

On behalf of myself, Fr. Michael, Fr. Joseph, Dcn. Paul, Dcn. Pat, Dcn. Tony, Tacie and the Parish Staff wishing you and your families a Joyous Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year filled with Mercy!

It's easy to lose sight of the real story of the Magi amidst the figurines, the television renditions, and the carols about the three "oriental kings."

The Youth Center will be closed from Thursday, December 22 until January 2. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 3 at 12:00 noon.

With TRUST forever in our hearts, let us take Mary and Jesus in our homes; let our hearts become the birthplace of the EMMANUEL during Christmas!

Long before an angel appeared to a young girl named Mary, the need for the angel's message was firmly established in history. At the start of Creation, mankind had rebelled, choosing to trust something other than their Creator, bringing sin and death into the world. So how does that event connect to a young virgin and a startling visit from a celestial being? This study explains. Presented by Brigid DeMoor.
