Christmas is just beginning at the parish! Merry Christmas!! Below is a video from one of the favorite priests from my childhood, Fr. Ananias, OSB. I grew up with the Benedictines from Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, PA, and I discovered these videos from Father A a few Advents ago and come back to them each year. 

In the hustle and bustle of this week, don’t forget that Christmas is just beginning. When you look at the beautiful poinsettias and the nativity in your parish this week, remind your people that the joy of the season is just beginning. This is what we’ve been preparing for throughout all of December and Advent. Take a moment to just wish your people a Merry Christmas and welcome the Savior into your hearts.

So Merry Christmas from all of us here at Our Sunday Visitor! We love you! We’re praying for you! We’re here for you whenever you need us!
