Dear Parishioners, We spend weeks and weeks (and maybe for some of you, months and months) waiting for Christmas. Just a few short weeks ago, (16 actual days ago) we celebrated Christmas. Now it’s time for us to conclude the Christmas season and celebrate the Baptism of the Lord and the final weekend of the Christmas season. Yes, it seems like Christmas does come and go very quickly. But, perhaps we have discovered that what we have experienced at Christmas does not have to be put in a box in a closet, but instead our Lord intended for us to keep living the joy, peace, hope and faith that we experienced at Christmas time. We need to put all these things into practice into our daily routines, our ordinary, as well as all the other things that come up along the way. So here we go into all the adventures that 2022 will bring to us. May the Lord continue to bless us and our families in all we do! Thanks for reading!
