Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter 12/18/22

My Dear Parishioners, 
     O Come, O Come, Emmanuel—God bless my parishioners and your loved ones.  Christmas is near; may God’s heavenly blessings be with you all.  Please know that not only do I love you, but also our Lord Jesus, His Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints love you out of this world.  Yes, this world is too small for God’s love for you and me and all of God’s children on earth.  For this reason, He created us so that we may have life on earth as it will be in heaven, to enjoy His perfect love for all of us. Only those who are in heaven, angels and saints, can fully live and understand and know the eternal and perfect love of God.  Too many people today are so caught up with worldly things that they fail to live in union with God.  Please bring your families and friends for our Holy Christmas Masses:  Saturday, December 24th at 4pm (English), 5:30pm (Vietnamese) and Sunday, Christmas day at 9am (bi-lingual).  This year, we are blessed to have a group of students who have been practicing their special dance to perform at 4pm Mass.  They are like angels to tell the story of the Incarnation.  They will help us love and praise God with “Glory to God in the Highest, and peace to His people on earth.”  Merry Christmas to you all with countless blessings from our Lord Jesus, Fr. Hien.
