Christmas Gratitude<br />
As we enjoy another Christmas season (the liturgical calendar of the Church celebrates the Christmas season and the<br />
joy of our <strong>Savior</strong> with us all the way through today’s Feast of the Baptism of the Lord) we have many to thank for all<br />
the blessings and goodness of this season.<br />
Our thanks and abiding gratitude to….<br />
.…all who helped make our Christmas liturgies festive, joyful, and filled with prayer and praise of our God and <strong>Savior</strong>.<br />
We’re especially grateful to our choir, musicians, those who decorated, our ushers, and our ministers called upon for<br />
extraordinary service during these days. Your efforts and presence bring the warmth and cheer of this season to all of<br />
us. Thanks as well to Kay Merkle, Brian Gaseor, and Pat and Debbie Patzelt for arranging for Santa and Mrs. Klaus to be<br />
with us during our festive Tree Lighting and for the wonderful and delicious reception afterwards.<br />
.…all from our parish family who so generously gifted our families helped by our newly formed St. Vincent de Paul<br />
Society, and the Advent Giving Tree that blessed our sharing parish’s families from Saint Eulalia. Thanks to your<br />
goodness and love, you made Christmas happen for so many who would have done without, were it not for your care<br />
and concern. Because of your generous response to our “Make Christmas Happen” appeal, $670.00 was collected and<br />
we were able to gift 12 families at Christmas (as well as Thanksgiving). God bless your love and gifts shared with those<br />
who are struggling in places near and far.<br />
….Libby and Loretta Lodestro for their faithful efforts once again coordinating our Giving Tree, and to all the St. Vincent<br />
de Paul members for working together to sort and deliver Christmas gifts and cheer to families right in our parish and<br />
neighborhood. Special thanks to Pat Valicento for helping organize all these tasks.<br />
A blessed and peaceful New Year to you and all you love in our <strong>Savior</strong>’s presence and peace among us.<br />
Gratefully,<br />
Father LoBianco<br />
