December's Greeting from the Shrine DIrector


 

Christmas Greetings to you my dear Brothers, Sisters, boys and girls,  

 

“Come Near My Children Do Not Be Afraid... I Have Great News For You!”

 

As we enter one of the most festive times of the year, “Advent” is a time of great waiting and preparations. We decorate our homes, special meals, gifts and all because of a very special person very important who is the reason for this season  ... the birth of Jesus!

 

This year it is our jubilee year here at Our Lady’s Shrine as we are rejoice and give thanks for our “60 Years of Serving God’s People” with the Christmas Festival of Lights!  

 

We have a new special feature “Light Show” created especially in honor of Jesus’ birth as well as to enrich you as you gaze at this spectacular show! It is my deepest prayer that you will experience the birth of Jesus in your heart through all of these rejoicing lights here in Attleboro, MA.

 

December also is a month to honor Our Blessed Mother on December 8 feast of the Immaculate Conception and December 12h  Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe who is our Patroness. Please take some time to come and honor Her in her feast days.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Peace-filled New Year to you, your families and friends and let us continue living our daily lives in the spirit of Jesus & Mary.
