The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. Gospel of Luke 2:11-12
In the midst of all our current challenges and concerns in our lives and the world, the love of God the Father is made manifest to us in the wonderful gift of His Son, Jesus, with the angels in Bethlehem, our faith moves us to sing: “Glory to God in the highest and peace to His people on earth!”
As we celebrate Christmas, I would like to thank you for your presence and prayers with our parish family of St Hyacinth Catholic Church, I extend a special welcome if you are joining us for the first time, if you are visiting from any other places or faith traditions, or if you do not worship with us on a regular basis. God gives us all a wonderful and grace-filled opportunity to put aside past differences and old habits and begin anew that prayerful relationship with the Lord and His Church community.
As we all come together to worship and celebrate the birth of the Messiah; Know that we pray for you, your loved ones and your intentions. Thank you for lifting us in prayer as well. May you have the grace to find happiness and joy this Christmas and throughout the New Year
May our Lord Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem, bless you, your families and loved ones at this blessed time of hope and grace. May Mary, the Mother of the Child Jesus and our Mother, watch over you and our beloved St. Hyacinth Parish.
Merry Christmas! On behalf of our parish staff here at St. Hyacinth, I sincerely hope that the remembrance of Christ’s birth brings you much hope, blessings and peace.
