Thank You for Christmas

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who worked so hard in decorating and preparing our church for Christmas.  Many people have told me how much they enjoyed the Christmas Service.

Thank you to Pat Prakopcyk, Lisa Sforza, Nancy Coletti, Debbie Erling, Glenn Ricketts, our Youth and Adult Choirs, and our musicians who make our services and liturgies throughout Advent and Christmas so special and prayerful for all of us.

Thank you to Sandra Kopka and all the children for a beautiful Children’s Pageant.

Thank you to our Ministry Heads and all the Ministers: Rob Preston for coordinating all our Readers; John-Joseph Bober for coordinating our Extraordinary Ministers of Eucharist; Rich Kopf for coordinating the Ushers; Knights of Columbus for setting up the Nativity outside the Church, all those who clean the church, and our Sacristan Margaret Rocca.

Thank you to Donna and Kevin Cahill who change over all the wonderful liturgical decorations and adornments. I wish to also thank all those who helped them with the decorations for Advent and Christmas, including Carey Kopf, and Patty and Vinny Battipaglia.

Thank you to Wayne & Cecilia Isbitski for the Christmas gift to each family in our Parish, a book, “Beautiful Eucharist.”

Thank you to the Rosarians who every year set up the Giving Tree to help remind us of those in need, especially during Christmas.

Thank you to Anthony and Jennifer Natalizio for the beautiful Christmas Lights on our outside tree.

On a personal note, I want to thank everyone for your cards, gifts, and prayers during this Christmas season and this year.  May God bless you and your loved ones this Christmas season and throughout the New Year. 

Fr. Chester
