I would like to wish all of you who are visiting our parish for the Feast of Christmas a very warm welcome and to thank you for being a part of Christmas in Hespeler. I pray that you and your family will be blessed by coming to a greater knowledge of Emmanuel, God With Us.
If you are in Hespeler for the holidays we pray that you have a joy-filled and life-giving visit with your family and friends. If you are visiting us from another faith community, we welcome you and wish you every blessing as we celebrate our common faith in the Child of Bethlehem. I would like to extend a special welcome to anyone who has been away from Church. Please know that you are always welcome here. We are a community of followers of the Lord Jesus. We don’t do it perfectly, but we strive to be the kind of community that Jesus calls us to be. We believe that our mission is to do more than simply satisfy our own particular spiritual needs. We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world, in our community together. In fact we claim as a goal "being a family of faith with something for everyone" and we desire to be to be a light on the hill and offer every person in our community a life-changing encounter with Jesus.
If knowing Jesus makes a difference in your life and you are not connected with a church, we would love to have you join us. If you have been away from the Church we would love to have you return. Perhaps consider joining us for several of the spiritual and social programs we offer here. We invite you to considering being a part of what God is doing here at St. Mary of the Visitation Parish.
Come visit us this Christmas in Hespeler!
