From Father O’Brien
I join all the staff at Pope John XXIII Parish in extending the
blessing of the Lord to everyone at Christmas. As God’s people we have
much to be grateful for, especially the gift of the Prince of Peace who is
our Savior and Redeemer. We pray that the many good activities during
this year will not distract us from the great reality of the presence of
Christ in our lives as we welcome and open ourselves to His presence
and love once again. Our prayers and blessings include all members of
our parish families even those unavoidably separated during this holy
season. We know and trust that it is in Christ that we are always united
to one another and in Him share the joy of Christmas. May we all know
that love and presence in a special way this year and find peace with the
Prince of Peace and one another.
A special thank you to all who are helping the parish for the
Christmas celebration. We thank all the decorators, the children in the
pageant, the parish choirs for a wonderful Lessons and Carols concert,
the Advent evening with Fr. Pompei, and the behind the scene people,
especially Elizabeth Fallon, Kathy Przytula, Cathy Valente, Chris
Kennedy and Rick Phillips.
I extend specific thanks to everyone who participated in our
Giving Tree this year, donating the many thoughtful gifts to the families
and children of the area in need. We are grateful to the Human
Development Committee for organizing the gift giving and The Food
Pantry coordinators and volunteers for ensuring that those who depend
on Pope John XXIII Parish have a special Christmas and share in the
blessings of Christmas.

Christmas Prayer of Pope John XXIII
O sweet Child of Bethlehem, grant that we may share with all our hearts
in this profound mystery of Christmas. Put into the hearts of men and
women this peace for which they sometimes seek so desperately and
which you alone can give them. Help them to know one another better,
and to live as brothers and sisters, children of the same Father. Reveal
to them also your beauty, holiness and purity. Awaken in their hearts
love and gratitude for your infinite goodness. Join them all together in
your love. And give us your heavenly peace. Amen.
