This is a busy season for us all. We rush to buy and wrap gifts, set up our Christmas trees, send out cards, schedule meals and family visits, and all of these things can some- times take our focus off of the true reason for the season: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we begin our new liturgical year, look forward to the new calendar year, and come together as a country under our new leadership, we invite you to take some time out and take advantage of the many opportunities here at St. Edward to join in prayer with the faithful of our community and to show our faith in the Lord that He will grant us a peaceful and graced “new” life. Gaudete! The Lord is near! Fr Jay
