MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR PARISHIONERS

I want to take this opportunity to express

my most sincere gratitude to all of you for being part of my ministry, and for the journey we

continue to travel together at Saint Ladislaus Parish.

My wish this Christmas is for “0ur little Church on the hill” to be a welcoming center of love, prayer, and peace—regardless of our differences. A place

where everyone may encounter God and feel free to express their faith, the way they did in their home-

land.

I urge you to make a difference in the world by be-ing merciful, just as Pope Francis has invited us to do. I truly believe we can be that bridge between

God and his children.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and may God fill your hearts, homes, and families with infinite bless-

ings. Fr. Juan Gabriel Acosta
