A very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year, Eminence.
Please keep St.Bernadette of Lourdes Parish in your Prayers. We have an awesome Parish.
Thank You and God Bless.
A very Merry Christmas to you, Eminence. We are blessed to have you as part of our lives. We pray that the new year will be a wonderful one for you and for the coming of a great event – The world Meeting of Families, 2015. God’s blessings.
Archbishop Chaput,
It is such a gift to have you as our spiritual leader. I include you in my daily prayer that you may continue to listen to God’s Will in all of your difficult decision-making challenges. I happen to work for the Archdiocese as a clinician with Catholic Clinical Consultants. What a privilege for which I have much gratitude.

Merry Christmas to you Bishop. Keep up the good work. You and all priests are in my daily prayers. love Paul
