Dear Friends, As the holiday season arrives, I hope it finds you healthy and happy. It’s been a year since we last reached out for your support, and we are delighted with the progress of our ministry. Reflecting on the year, we see Jesus at ease with the narratives unfolding.

“I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since “no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord”. The Lord does not disappoint those who take this risk; whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms.” -- Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
