Dear Parish Family,
This year my message to you is in the form of a simple prayer. Pray this with your family at mealtime or bedtime. The extra time spent in prayer will bring amazing grace and peace to your hearts and your homes, and strengthen us as a parish family:
"Heavenly Father, You have given us the model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace, and joy reign. May we love one another as God loves each one of us, more and more each day, and forgive each other's faults as you forgive our sins. Help us, O Loving Father, to take whatever you give and give whaterver you take with a big smile."
