of December the Hispanic Youth Group had the Traditional Posada, the 19th the English Nativity Celebration and the next day, the Brazilian community had theirs – all these were well prepared and participated.

All of the Christmas Masses were overflowing as usual, the choirs sang beautifully and the church was super decorated adding to the beauty and the splendor of the Liturgy. I was well pleased to see so many participating making this season a moment of prayer and joy.

I cannot forget the great outpouring of your love and contribution for the Giving Tree where Trudy Bulat and “elves” helped made Christmas a great joy for over 187 families (591 children) in need. On January 6 food packages for 60 families in Deneef Village – migrant trailer camp where we have a monthly Mass.

I do want to sincerely thank all who sent me gifts and cards for Christmas. I still have to answer the cards from my personal list.

Blessings to you and your family, my good people of God.
