Welcome to all who join us at Our Lady of Victory during this holy season. Thank you for your presence, your prayer and worship of the Savior. Thanks to parishioners and parish staff whose great generosity of time, talent and treasure adds to the beauty and meaning of all our celebrations, and also helps to extend a spiritual presence, support and assistance of various kinds here in the community and beyond. God’s Word, His Son Jesus Christ, has indeed become flesh and continues to dwell among us. Prayer from the Christmas Mass at Dawn: Grant, we pray, almighty God, that, as we are bathed in the new radiance of your incarnate Word, the light of faith, which illumines our minds, may also shine through in our deeds. Through Jesus your Son, who lives and reigns...for ever and ever. On behalf of Deacon Chuck Kampa, Peggy Rezac, Father Luis Palomino, all of our parish and OLV School staff and myself… A VERY MERRY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. MAY THE WONDER OF GOD’S LOVING KINDNESS TOUCH YOUR HEARTS DEEPLY NOW AND REMAIN WITH YOU IN THE NEW YEAR! A Merry and Blessed Christmas!
