Queridos Padres,

¡Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas!!

What a joy it is for me to celebrate our Everlasting Father’s birth with your children this week! Their excitement, faith and sweet energy are contagious and I am so grateful for each child. I’m also praying that your family enjoys a wonderful, Christ-centered Christmas season together. Blessings to you!

Also, a HUGE thanks to all the generous hands that made it possible to fill the pack and play for the Beacon Ministry. We will be collecting all donations until Friday, December 20. Thanks!

We are reaching the end of our add.a.lingua CASA project; thanks for all your support and help. This week we will focus on giving feedback to each of the students highlighting their achievements.

Thanks for your continued prayers for unity throughout this year! 

Blessings,

Hilda Durán
