Christmas Letter from Father Greg

12/24/2019

 
Welcome to our Christmas Celebrations!  I’m so glad that you have joined us for this most joyous of occasions here at  St. Julia Church. 

The birth of Jesus is the greatest work of God because it illuminates for us God’s great love for each and everyone of us.  God took on our human flesh, becoming one of us, by sending his son  Jesus Christ to walk with us and to give us such a beautiful glimpse into the heart of our creator.  Our salvation and eternal happiness rest in the loving arms of Jesus Christ. It is with open arms that we welcome you here at St. Julia Church.  This caring community of believers is a place where all are welcome, and it is my prayer that every time you join us you are drawn into the great mystery of our faith – a faith centered on Jesus Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity, the word made flesh.  This is what we celebrate with the birth of Jesus – the Prince of Peace.

It is my prayer that you experience and encounter the peace of Christ when you join us for Mass, and take that gift of peace into your homes, schools, places of work, and out into our world. 

May the peace of Christ be with you this Christmas Day, and may our loving God bless each of you and those that you love, today and always.
​
Merry Christmas!
