Tonight, as we celebrate the birth of Christ, we would like to wish all our parishioners, families and friends a very happy, holy and peaceful Christmas.

At this special time of year, we remember with love and gratitude all those who have died, especially members of our parish and families who are no longer with us. May the light of Christ shine upon them and may they rest in eternal peace.

We also hold in our prayers those who are lonely, unwell or facing hardship this Christmas, asking that the hope and comfort of the Christ Child may bring strength and consolation.

May the joy, hope and peace of Christmas fill your hearts and homes this night and in the days ahead and may God’s blessing be with you throughout the coming year.

– Fr. Stephen & Straide Pastoral Council.
