Dear Parishioners,

Where do I begin, your cards and gifts for Christ-mas were overwhelming. I thank each one of you from my heart. But more importantly, the love and care you so freely give to me. I know it comes from your hearts and I am so fortunate to be a part of this St. Paul Family. Again, thank you for your generosity. I will continue to keep all of you in my daily prayers.

Now, I am sharing a New Year message with all of you:

Look to this day, For it is life, The very life of life. In its brief course lie all the realities and verities of existence, The bliss of growth, The splendor of action, The glory of power for yesterday it is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today, well lived, Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

~~From a Sanskrit Proverb by Kalidasa (Indian Po-et and Playwright). Fourth Century A.P

.Wishing all of you a Blessed, Healthy, Safe, New Year.

~~Love, Fr. Steve
