Christmas Letter 2007 to the People of St. Barbara

Dear parishioners,

Every Christmas, God our Father offers us a special Gift, His Son, Jesus, Our Redeemer. The presence of Christ in our lives truly brings us joy and peace. May your hearts be open to the Infant Prince of Peace.

I look forward to celebrating Christmas as a parish family with you and your family. If it has been a while since you prayed with us at Mass, I invite you to come home to St. Barbara this Christmas season.

Please note the times for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which is an excellent preparation for welcoming our Savior.

I am grateful for your loving and generous support of our parish and its many ministries. You year end special Christmas gift is your opportunity to go beyond the day to day support of St. Barbara that you fund through your weekly envelopes. When considering your Christmas gift, reflect on how you have been blessed by God this past year.

The priests and staff of St. Barbara pray that the grace and peace of our Infant Savior be felt in your family this Christmas and during the coming year!

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Dennis Ziomek

Fr. Francis Li
