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

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
