In the spirit of Saint Vincent de Paul and Saint Louise de Marillac, who gave so much of themselves to others, we look to the faces of the poor to find the face of Jesus this Christmas. As a member of our Lady’s Association, you keep their giving spirit alive and growing as you help us serve the poor.

In these difficult economic times, many families are finding that the true treasures of their lives lie not in material wealth, but in the wealth of faith and love of family and friends

When we look at the Holy Family, we see a family living a simple life, one filled with faith and love. This Christmas, let’s take time to pray, to give thanks, to love others, and assist those in need as the Holy Family did.

I’d love to hear from you this Christmas, so please email, write, or call. If you have some special intention you want to include in the novena of Masses starting on Christmas, just send your petition and light a Votive Light today. I will keep it at our Lady’s Altar during the Christmas Season.

As My Christmas Gift for You

I will remember you with special gratitude in the Christmas Midnight Mass at our Lady's Shrine. I will continue to remember you each day in the novena of Masses beginning on Christmas and ending on January 2, 2010.
