My Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ,
On behalf of all of us here at Saint Cabrini Parish, I extend a very Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and your families! With everything going on this past year, we ward off that which may stand in the way of happiness so that we can appreciate the great gift given to us by God the Father – the beautiful gift of His Son, Jesus Christ – our Savior. Learn from the past. Plan for the future. Live for today! For those who are travelling – we wish a safe roundtrip journey. To those who will be visiting us here in Lake Nona – we say Welcome! And in a very special way, please know of our care and concern for those who have recently lost a loved one or who are experiencing difficulty in life. May the commemoration of the celebration of our Lord’s birth bring you comfort, and the strength to persevere. This time of year also calls us to be grateful of the many gifts and blessings that God has bestowed – so don’t forget to give Him ‘Thanks’ for all that you have! I, personally, am so grateful to the wonderful Ministry Leads that we have – who do so much for me and for our ministers and people. Grateful appreciation also goes out to our parishioners who do so much for this, their local Church. None of what we accomplish would be possible without a great Team – and a great ‘body of Christ!’
Leaving you with this thought that will hopefully fill you with an abundance of satisfaction: Make ‘Now’ the most precious time. ‘Now’ will never come again.
Peace, Prayers & All Good Things,
Fr. Charles
