- The
true spirit of Christmas in Catholic teaching is one of charity,
compassion, and giving. It’s about embodying the love of Christ by
reaching out to those in need, whether through volunteering or simple
acts of kindness. This season calls for a shift from materialism to a
focus on spiritual enrichment and community. The main message of
Christmas is that God is with us, and we are called to become messengers
of Emmanuel, to help bring Christ’s love to the world. Christmas is a
time of great joy, God is with us and shares our human life, the joys
and challenges along with our pain and suffering. The word Emmanuel
beautifully describes the gift of Christmas, it means ‘God is with
us’. This is the main message of Christmas. New Years resolutions - Volunteers needed to help at Mass.
Following the notice above about giving and volunteering, please make
one of your new year’s resolutions to volunteer at Mass on Sundays. If
you are in good standing with the Catholic Church, please think about
becoming a reader, adult altar server, helper in the sacristy &
general help. The priests have so much to do at the Sunday Masses they
are in desperately in need of volunteers especially help in the
sacristy. Training will be given, the only skill needed is your
willingness to help! Please see Fr Karol or contact the office New Fundraising Events Web Page – Fundraising newsletter with information for future and past events please click on the link.
