CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
As another year draws to a close and we have completed our Advent journey, I want to wish each one of you and your families a very happy and peaceful Christmas. I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has assisted in the Parish during the past year. The combined efforts of each one of you ensures that we have a vibrant Parish. My prayer for you all this Christmas is that the radiant light of Christ’s presence will shine upon you and your loved ones this Christmas and for the year ahead. Fr. Fitzgerald
