Greetings brother and sisters, Christ is born a little child in Bethlehem some 2,000 years ago, and still the buzz about his birth is still found throughout the whole world. Growing up as a child, my family and I would always attend midnight Mass to celebrate Christmas. And it was only after midnight Mass, that we were allowed to open our gifts. There is something about celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ’s birth at one of the darkest and quietest hour. In the pitch black of night, we celebrate the light of Christ born to us to cast away the sin and darkness in our life and in our world.

Greetings brothers and sisters, Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete. “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.” This weekend we find ourselves halfway through Advent and we rejoice because the time for the Lord to come is quickly coming upon us! 

Greetings brothers and sisters, as we move forward with Advent, we look forward to Christmas with great hope. Hope is the virtue of trusting in the promises of God and his work in the world. Next week, at all the Sunday Masses, there will also be another opportunity to hope. As I mentioned in previous announcements and notebook entries, we will have a parish wide comprehensive survey to discern and plan for the future of Most Holy Trinity. This is a great opportunity for us to listen to each other and to share our thoughts in a constructive and helpful way.
