Dear Friends,
It is that time of the year, where the days grow shorter, and we prepare for the Winter months ahead. It brings to mind cosy feelings of sitting with a nice cup of tea, warming chilly hands safe at home from winter weather. The season of Advent will give us a chance to reflect and prepare our weary souls and hearts for the great season of Christmas. A time to rejoice to love and show good will.
I wish to thank you sincerely for your continued support of our work throughout the year. In countries like Kenya, the Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Brazil, South Sudan, and Haiti to name a few of the places around the world where your help makes a difference to peoples lives. You have helped to bring a glimmer of the light of God’s love to others, helping to ease their burden.
This Winter in particular we remember all who need our prayers especially those displaced by the terrors of War.
At home as always, a little bit of kindness, a kind word and a smile can go a long way especially as Christmas approaches. I wish you and your loved ones the grace and blessing of this special season and throughout 2024.
Christmas blessings to you and your loved ones,
Wishing you a Happy and Holy Christmas,
Fr John Fitzgerald MSC
Director of the MSC Missions Office
