Dear and Beloved Parishioners,
As we celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Savior,
I would like to take this time to extend my best wishes
to you, your family and friends. I would also like to
begin by thanking the staff of the parish.
Once again, I am honored and happy to celebrate
another Christmas with you. With heart felt gratitude, I
thank you for your love, collaboration, and support
throughout 2016. Yes, it has been a rewarding experi-
ence for me. You have been an inspiration to me as a
priest, and your unwavering support has helped me
everyday. After four weeks of preparations, Christmas
is here. I hope that this time is a time of blessings for
you and your family.
I personally thank all of you who are involved in
different Ministries. The Ministries play a vital role
when it comes to St. David family. I am grateful to all
the heads of Ministries for their leadership.
May God continue to bless you abundantly. I wish you
a very Merry Christmas.
Very Rev. Oswald P. Pierre-Jules, Jr. S.S. J., V.F.
A Stewardship Moment
Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)
December 24/25, 2016
Amidst the beautiful readings at the Christmas Masses
is a reading from a small New Testament letter from
Saint Paul to his protégé, Titus, read at Midnight Mass.
Saint Paul reminds Titus that God has given us a gift in
the person of Jesus Christ. This gift represents God’s
active presence in our lives and in our world. This gift
redeems us from evil and death. This gift purifies us as
God’s people. This is a gift that also comes with an
expectation: that we receive it with thanksgiving, allow
it to transform us into Christ’s image; and from it, learn
how to live a life “eager to do what is good.” Take time
the next few days to reflect on the marvelous gift we
celebrate at Christmas, and how we might become bet-
ter stewards of this gift. ICSC@
