Felicitaciones Navideñas
"He aquí, yo os anuncio buenas nuevas
de gran gozo, que será para todo el
pueblo.
Puesto que hoy en la ciudad de David,
un salvador ha nacido para usted, es
Cristo y Señor” (Lucas 2: 10-11).
Hemos terminado el viaje de Adviento con un gran
deseo de estar lo mejor preparados que podamos
estar para el día de hoy. Este día, celebramos la gran
fiesta de la Navidad. Hoy, conmemoramos el gran
acontecimiento histórico que tuvo lugar en la
pequeña ciudad de Belén de Judea; Dios se hizo un
ser humano y nacio de una virgen. Por primera vez
en la historia, Dios se revela en la forma de un bebé.
Y ese es el misterio de la Natividad de Jesucristo.
Como recordamos, comenzamos Adviento lleno de
esperanzas. Nos esperábamos un aumento en la fe.
Teníamos la esperanza de que la paz de Cristo
vendría sobre nuestra familia y comunidad.
Teníamos la esperanza de que nuestros pecados
serían perdonados y que nuestras adversidades se
desvanecieron. Me siento optimista de que con la
llegada de la Navidad, todas nuestras esperanzas de
Adviento son ya una realidad.
No parece como si hubiera sido hace mucho tiempo
que llegué a la Parroquia de San Patricio, y sin
embargo, esta es la segunda Navidad que celebro con
ustedes. Ha sido una gran bendición trabajar y
celebrar la fe con ustedes. Espero que podamos
celebrar muchas más Navidades juntos. Hoy, me
gustaría decir gracias a todos por su dedicación a la
Parroquia de San Patricio; y por su tiempo, oraciones
y generosidad a su parroquia.
Al celebrar el amor de Dios en Navidad, espero que
podamos aumentar amor y cuidado por los demás.
¡Feliz Navidad!

Christmas Greetings
“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
Christ and Lord” (Luke 2:10-11).
We have finished the Advent journey with a
great desire of being the best prepared we can be
for this very day. Today. we celebrate the great
feast of Christmas. Today, we commemorate the
great historical event which took place in the
little town of Bethlehem of Judea; God becoming
a human being, born of a virgin. For the first
time in history, God reveals himself in the form
of a baby. And that is the mystery of the
Nativity of Jesus Christ.
As we recall, we began Advent filled with
hopes. We hoped for an increase of faith. We
hoped that Christ’s peace would come upon our
family and community. We hoped that our sins
would be forgiven and that our adversities would
be vanished. I am optimistic that with the arrival
of Christmas, all of our Advent hopes are now a
reality.
It does not seem like it was long ago that I
came to St. Patrick Parish. And yet, this is the
second Christmas that I celebrate with you. It
has been a great blessing working and
celebrating faith with you. I hope we can
celebrate many more Christmas’ together.
Today, I would like to say thank you all for your
dedication to St. Patrick Parish; and for your
time, prayers and generosity to your parish.
As we celebrate God’s love at Christmas,
may we come to greater love and care for one
another. Merry Christmas!

Do you Know? ... 1. The prophet ___________foretold
that Jesus would be born in
Bethlehem.
2. The prophet ___________ foretold that Jesus would be born
of a virgin.
3. The prophet ___________ foretold that Jesus would be sold for 30
pieces of silver.
On December
8th, the Feast of
the Immaculate
Conception, the
Church will begin
the jubilee year of
Mercy. This year
of Mercy comes
at a time when
our world is
tender with suffering, sin, and sadness. Families are
enduring physical and mental illness, separation, and
death. Communities are divided along racial,
religious, and political lines. Global terrorist attacks
are intensifying and suggest, as Pope Francis stated,
that we are entering piecemeal into WWIII. The
Jubilee of Mercy is the antidote that can restore hope,
increase faith, and spread love.
March for Life Pilgrimage: January 20th - January 24th

Mass Intentions
Not finding [Jesus], they returned
to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him
in the temple, sitting in the midst
of the teachers, listening to them
and asking them questions, and all who heard him
were astounded at his understanding and his answers.
- Lk 2:45-47
