Friends,

Christmas is coming! This year perhaps more than ever before, how I welcome the sense of hope and joy that accompanies this sacred season, rich with traditions meant to draw us closer to Christ and each other.

Children often say they wish every day was Christmas!  Perhaps this is why I am drawn to St. Teresa’s sentiment, “It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.” Through your support of Catholic Charities, you help bring God’s love to others every day of the year.
