I would like to take a moment and along with Fr. Brendan thank you all for your kindness and generosity during Christmas time. Thank you for your many warm wishes, beautiful cards, all kinds of gifts, baked goods, and most importantly the assurance of your prayers. I am truly humbled and grateful for your expressions of love and gratitude. I pray the Lord will bless you abundantly with His graces during this New Year. Thank you for your participation in our Christmas masses, for your tremendous generosity of gifts to our "Christmas Giving Tree", as well as your generous stewardship in Christmas collection. You are always so generous to the Parish at this time of year.
Your love, devotion, and sacrifice to Saint John's reflects your appreciation for the gift of our Catholic faith and our parish family.
I also want to thank our deacon couples, parish staff members, lectors, altar servers, Mike Myers our Music Director with all the musicians and cantors, our maintenance men for all their hard work in making this Christmas a truly special celebration for us all.
On behalf of all parishioners I also say big thank you to Mrs. Barbara Lakoma and Mrs. Kasia Korus and their daughters for decorating our church so beautifully this year, and to everyone else who made Christmas at St. Johns' a joyous and faith-fllled celebration.
May the Lord bless you this New Year with health, happiness and most of all holiness of life!
