Christmas greetings Dear Friends,
Jesus Christ is Lord! At the conclusion of the Year of Faith, we join with the entire Church, giving
thanks to God for the many graces and blessings He has bestowed on us throughout the year. Joyfully
confessing that Christ is King, we now prepare with peaceful expectation to welcome Him anew and
ever more deeply into our hearts and home in the company of Mary and St. Joseph.
We are confident that the King Who was not ashamed to embrace human neediness in His Holy
Infancy, will look kindly upon our needs and reward in abundance all of our friends and benefactors
who continue to assist us with generosity and love in our mission of joyful evangelization. As we
celebrate the Solemnity of the Lord’s Nativity, please know that we carry in our hearts and prayers all
of your needs and intentions and place them at the feet of our Newborn Savior.
May the full measure of His Bethlehem blessings flow from His Heart to each of yours throughout
the coming year!
Helping us meet unexpected expenses
for one of our Sisters diagnosed with
cancer.
A heartfelt thank you On November 1, 2013, we began our
first Annual Appeal. We are thankful for
everyone who has responded to our
needs through monetary
donations and/or prayerful
support. Your continued help
has made it possible for us to
continue to serve in many ways,
including:
Formation of our postulants
and novices as well as
ongoing formation for our
professed Sisters.
Making it possible for young
women to discern with our
community during “Come
and See” retreats.
Attending the SEEK 2013 National
Conference (hosted by FOCUS
Ministries); this afforded us the
opportunity to evangelize to
young men and women from
across the country.
Our annual retreat. This year
we were fortunate to have Father
Gary C. Caster of the Peoria
Diocese as retreat master.
Your continued support has
made all of this and much more
possible. Thank you for your
support of our mission and
apostolates. We continue to
keep your needs and intentions
in our prayers.
