Women Incarcerated
Dear Fr. Jim and Sr. Anne,
Thank you for your immediate and kind gift for the special Thanksgiving and Christmas days for the women incarcerated. Needless to say, they will be and they are very appreciative of all the efforts made on their behalf. Years ago two women approached me after Mass when I was at a parish to tell me that their Christmas at the prison was the best Christmas they had ever had.

So my friends please thank all involved for your generosity that will help to make nearly 1,000 women have the best Christmas possible while behind bars. Knowing someone, some Church thought about them with love, sending the message of new birth in Christ will absolutely brighten their life and New Year!  In gratitude, Sr. Maureen Clark, CSJ  Posted 011512

 

CHRISTMAS THANK YOU
On behalf of all our staff, please allow me to express heartfelt gratitude to so many of you who so generously gifted us for Christmas. For all your cards, your gifts, your delicious goodies and your blessing us during this Holy Season – thank you and may your New Year be blessed and full of the Presence of Christ Our Lord.

CHURCH DECORATIONS
How lovely both Mary’s Chapel and the Main Church appear for Christmas! The beauty, the taste and the efforts of the folks who spent hours of effort to prepare God’s House for the Nativity has added to all of our enjoyment and spiritual delight. We pray the Lord’s blessing on that wonderful team. Moreover, we send out our thanks to the Jeff Coombs Foundation which donated 2 new Christmas trees. God bless Christy Coombs and her family and give Jeff eternal life.

APPRECIATION
Our thanks to all of who contributed to the beauty of our worship, singing, serving and celebration of Christmas. How blessed we are all are by you who serve. JFH
