I, on behalf of all our staff, would like to take this opportunity to say that I am truly grateful for your many generous gifts to Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish and School in the past year. I especially would like to thank all of you who have taken parts, great and small, and share in the variety of ministries to make Our Lady of Good Counsel what it truly is today: the Mystical Body of Christ.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior let us take time to reflect and contemplate on the true meaning of Christmas; "God has given us his only Son to be the Savior of the world." We have spent the past two thousand years evangelizing, preaching this Good News in every corner of the world. Missionaries claimed that now is the time for re-evangelization, beginning in Europe and North America. As we move toward the New Year, let us consider how each one of us can take greater parts in this process of reevangelization, especially with our time, talents and treasure. As disciples of Jesus Christ, all of us are called to be collaborators and cooperators in continuing this redemptive work of our Lord and Savior for the world.
May the Christ Child bless your Christmas with His gifts of peace and may He guide you tenderly all through the coming year.
