Dear Sisters and Brothers of our Parish Family,
Christmas is a special time for us to give
thanks to God for His many blessings to St.
Catharine of Siena. As parishioners, you help
promote the Gospel with the witness and good
example of your lives, and for this, we are grateful
in more ways than can be expressed in a letter.
Christmas reminds us to thank you for
everything that you teach us about who Jesus
Christ is in your lives. We appreciate your good
example, your prayers, and your affirming support
of our priestly lives. May God bless you for being
so generous and cooperative in so many ways to
make our parish family the growing community of
faith which reflects the presence of the Holy Spirit.
We greet especially our parishioners who
are sick, handicapped, or elderly and not able to
join us at the table of the Lord each weekend.
Thank you for your beautiful example of loyalty to
your Catholic Faith and to our Parish Family of
which you are a special part.
To those of you who lost loved ones this
past year, we want you to know that you are in our
prayers and thoughts especially at this time. Our
deceased watch over and support us from their
heavenly home. May the compassion and healing
of our Savior Lord strengthen your family at these
holiday times when we feel our losses.
In all our Masses throughout the Christmas
Season, we will ask the blessings of Jesus, the
Incarnate Word of God, upon all of you and your
families. Again, thank you so much for everything
you do for your parish and your priests.
With our love and gratitude,
Rev. Msgr. Domin, Father Lamb, Msgr. Treston,
Deacon Fry & Deacon Horst
