I wish to thank all those who gave me a Christmas gift: from baked goods to gift cards and everything in between. You made my first Christmas here feel special and a memorable experience. Being away from family is hard, and so is starting a new assignment. So, the kindness shown at this time means a lot.
Christmas is a beautiful time of year, a season that reminds us of hope and good things to come. I pray that everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day and will continue to find joy and peace throughout this Holy Season and beyond.
In Christ,
Fr. Thomas H. McCarthy
