A Reflection for This Moment

A brief pastoral reflection offering guidance, encouragement, and clarity as we navigate this moment in our shared life.

The Twelve Days of Christmas

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is more than a festive song. Written during a time of persecution, it served as a hidden catechism for Christians. Each gift symbolizes a core belief of the faith, with the “true love” representing God and the gifts reflecting Scripture, virtues, and teachings. What sounds playful is deeply rooted in Christian history and meaning.
