This Advent and Christmas season, we are filled with joy as we reflect on the gift of Christ’s birth. In the Gospel of Luke, we hear the angel proclaim to the shepherds: “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”

The shepherds were not the most powerful or prestigious. Yet, they were entrusted with the first announcement of hope. Like them, we are called to live faithfully, to act with courage, and to share the joy of Christ with the world.

This is the heart of our mission: faith in action. With every prayer, every act of service, and every gift, you join us in carrying forward the Spirit of Saint Katharina Kasper. Together, we walk alongside those in need, bringing light and hope where it is most needed.

We are deeply grateful for your faithful friendship. You are a blessing to our mission and to the many lives touched by it.

With gratitude and joy,
