My dear friends in Christ,

December is a special month; it is filled with religious and earthly events.

These are the last days of a year that has brought worries and joy, successes and failures, laughter as well as tears.  Some families have welcomed new additions - new-born child, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, while some other families have said goodbye to the loved ones who returned to the Lord.  As 2018 winds down, it’s time to plan for the new year.

December is the last month in the Gregorian calendar.  It is, however, the first month in the liturgical year.  The Liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church begins with the First Sunday of Advent.  In the month of December are 4 weeks of the Advent Season, Christmas day, and part of the Christmas Season.

Advent is a season for appreciation, for looking forward, for sharing with one another.  Please mark your calendar for these upcoming events and make plans to attend them.

Have a blessed Advent!

Rev. Phi Nguyen
