ADVENT GIVING TREE

Words can never adequately express my deepest gratitude to all who participated in our Advent Giving Tree this year. We served 80 families (187 people) and

gave out over 400 gifts (only 25 tags did not return). Many cried tears of joy and gratitude when picking up

their gifts. Thank you for making their Christmases so much brighter!

May the Newborn King who brought the gifts of peace, hope and love touch your heart as you have touched

those through your gift of compassion.

~Dianne Massiello, Outreach

REFLECTION FROM THE DIARY OF ST. FAUSTINA

“Come to Me, all of you. Be not afraid of your Savior, O sinful soul. I make the first move to come to you,

for I know that by yourself you are unable to lift your-self to Me. Child, do not run away from your Father; be willing to talk openly with your God of mercy who wants to speak words of pardon and lavish His graces

on you. How dear your soul is to Me! I have inscribed your name upon My hand; you are engraved as a deep

wound in My Heart.” ~ Diary, 1485.

Christmas 2015

Dear Parishioners of St. Isidore Church, May the feast of Christmas and its beautiful season shower you and your families with the gift of Peace. Rejoice! That God came to live among us, for through Him we see and walk again, for through Him we are cleansed and raised to new life and the Kingdom of God is being pro-claimed to us. Yes! Emmanuel – God is with us. Merry Christmas, Fr. Robert, Fr. Piotr and the Staff of our Parish Drogie Siostry i Bracia Parafii p.w. Izydora, Niechaj Świeta Narodzenia Zbawiciela Jezusa Chrystusa wraz z całym okresem Bożego Naro-dzenia obfitują we wszelkie Błogosławieństwo a Laska, Pokój i Radość, niech znajdą swoje miejsce w Naszych sercach i w sercach Naszych Najblizszych. Niechaj Radosna Nowina, że

i zamieszkało między Nami inspiruje Nasze życie i przemienia Naszą codzienność, abyśmy stali się godnymi udziału w rzeczywistosci Królestwa Bożego ob-jawionego Nam przez przychodzącego Emmanuela - Boga obecnego wśród Nas. Serdeczne życzenia radosnych i pogodnych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia przekazują: ks. Robert, ks. Piotr wraz z całym zespołem pracowników parafii p.w. Św. Izydora.
