BLESSING AT CHRISTMAS MEAL: Heavenly Father, we pause at this time to ask you to bless us at this Christmas time, and to thank all who have brought us to Christmas meal. Take into your gentle hands all who can no longer be with us because of sickness or death. Continue to bless all those have worked together since last Christmas. And finally, bless this food so that it may give us the strength to do all that God asks of us. We make this prayer in the name of Jesus of Bethlehem. Amen.
O HOLY NIGHT
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS!

As always, thank you for your generosity that allows our parish to continue its mission.
