Thank you for your generosity!

God lavishes upon us gifts beyond our merit. Today’s

readings demonstrate the gratuitous nature of God’s love for

humanity. Recognizing this benevolence, we, along with the

Magi, prostrate ourselves and pay homage by offering our

supreme gifts—our faith, hope and love—in the service of our

generous, loving God.

In the first reading, the prophet reminds Israel that God’s glory will shine on them. They

will be a people to be admired by nations and kings. Saint Paul recounts for the Ephesians that

Gentiles are co-heirs and co-partners in the promise of Jesus Christ in the Gospel. The Gospel

recounts the Magi’s visit to pay homing to the newborn baby, Jesus.

Special thanks to all who participated in

our Christmas Cheer Angel Tree Program. Your generosity blessed

so many who would have otherwise not received!

Special thanks to our young people and all who worked so hard to make our CCD

Christmas program so special!

Special thanks to all who worked so hard decorating the church for the Christmas Season.

It is truly beautiful!

Special thanks to our Music Ministry for all of their hard work and dedication to make our

Masses so special!

Special thanks to all of our Lay Ministers,

Catechists, and Lay Organizations for your faithful service throughout the year!

Special thanks for your faithful contributions

throughout the year. IHM Parish continues to grow and thrive because of your generosity!

Special thanks to all for your many Christmas

gifts and cards! Your expression of love and generosity are deeply appreciated! -
