Merry Christmas to all of you. Let us Rejoice in the Birth of Jesus, our Savior and adore him with love. As we celebrate the Nativity of our Lord during the Christmas Season, I prayerfully wish to express my sincere thanks to you, the parishioners of Mater Dei Parish Community for all that you have done and continue to do for our parish. The time you give from your busy schedules and the sacrifices you make for love of the Church are very much appreciated. You are an inspiration and a blessing to me. Let us continue to pray for each other and for each other.  From my heart I wish you all a Christmas Season full of God's Blessing of Joy, Love, and Peace.
With my love, prayers and blessings,
Fr. James M. Butts,S.D.V.
