My dear friends - 

I hope you have had an opportunity to view IHM’s beautiful Christmas Pageant video, which debuted Sunday at 5:30pm and is available on the parish’s website. It is a true gift to the parish and beyond!

Thank you to the Religious Education Office - 

Diane Meade, Laura Covais and your staff - for spearheading this innovative presentation.

In a special way I would like to express the parish's gratitude to Deanna Ricciardi, who organized the participants, oversaw the filming, put together the incredible video and brought out the Joy of Jesus' Birth.

I would also like to thank Gabriella Ricciardi, who generously shared her videographer talents and assisted her Mother in the production - btw, the drone shot of our parish is amazing!

Do check out an ecumenical initiative Deanna has brought to my attention: The Care Coalition - they seek to prevent another tragic loss of friends, family members or neighbors due to substance abuse, bullying or suicide by offering quality resources and necessary tools to help people make better decisions and by assisting those struggling to find help, hope and healing. 

A blessed night to all!

Msgr. Luke Sweeney
