It's Christmas each time that we wipe the tears of a child.

It's Christmas each time when we stop a war and open our hands.

It's Christmas each time that we lighten someone’s suffering.

It's Christmas on earth each day, because Christmas my friend is Love.

As the Christmas season approaches we would like to send you our greetings, wishing you and your family great peace and many blessings.

Here at St. Vincent's we are thanking the Lord for a good year one in which we have seen our children grow and advance. Most are teenagers, causing us to try to adjust to their needs as an older population.

Know that again when we go to celebrate the Eucharist at Shepherd's Field on Christmas Eve, that each of you and your families will be raised to the Lord in prayer.

As 2009 follows, may your year be one of health and nice happenings. Again know that you are not far away from our thought and prayers.

Sincerely,

Children, staff, volunteers and Sisters
