Audrey Wilson shares a “message from the heart” for all those dealing with loss amid the joy of the holiday season.

Breakfast with Santa this past Saturday morning was a huge success! Heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Karen Sabo for chairing the event and to Mrs. Gina Rodriguez for her help behind the scenes and her many donations toward the decorations and the door prizes. We are particularly grateful for the countless toys donated by Mr. Don Law in memory of his wife, Janet. Every child left the breakfast with a special toy. Thank you to the Men of Harmony for entertaining us throughout the morning. Many thanks to Mr. Rick Tralies, Mr. Remo Pattitucci, Mr. David Sturkey, and Mrs. Karen David for providing the delicious food. Thanks to Mrs. Dianne Tufo for coordinating the servers and thanks to our army of volunteers, both adult volunteers and the youth volunteers. As one of our guests said, “There are a lot of Breakfasts with Santa going on this time of year, but St. Frances Cabrini always does it best!”

Monsignor McCormac shares a special Thanksgiving message.

We Wait in Hope

As we await Christ and the great celebration of Christmas, please take some time to focus on the true meaning of Advent and Christmas. Bring your cares and concerns to God. Enter into an oasis of Scripture, song, and silence.

December can be an extremely stressful month for many people. For some, there are so many things to do and not enough time to do it all. For others it can mean an increased struggle with loneliness, depression, or addictions. And others are confronted with financial concerns heightened by all the extra expenses of the holidays. Come, hear God’s message of hope and love whispered into the silence of your heart.

Karen Sabo extends a special invitation for parents to get involved in Parish life!
