Have a Blessed 2026

Dear Parishioners,

As we begin this New Year, let’s pause to thank God for time, life, faith, and community. Every day and season is a grace to grow closer to Him and each other. At Christmas, we learned that God comes close, entering our lives with our burdens. The Child of Bethlehem restores our relationship with God and reminds us of His love. Our world needs this reminder. Throughout Advent and Christmas, Mary taught us to welcome Jesus. She trusted God completely, opening her heart to His grace. That same grace is offered to us. As we look ahead, let’s focus on renewing our hearts. When we welcome Jesus with faith, humility, and trust, God fills us with His love. His grace brings peace, healing, and hope, even in uncertainty. We thank God for our spiritual graces: growth in faith, shared prayer, service, and community bonds. We trust He’ll guide us, strengthen us, and help us grow together. We remember those who are sick, lonely, grieving, or struggling. Let’s be attentive to one another, walking together as people of hope, ready to share God’s love. My prayer for you is that your hearts remain open to the Lord. May your homes be peaceful, your days strong, and your lives full of faith. No matter what lies ahead, we are always in God’s hands. Thank you for joining our parish family. Let’s continue our journey together, trusting in the Lord and sharing the love we’ve received.

I pray for a joyful and grace filled New Year for you and your families,

Fr. Augusto
