PASTOR'S NOTES
I give great thanks to all those who assisted by prayer and work in beautifying the church for the Feast of Our Blessed Savior's Birth. May God reward you richly for adorning His house. 

Next Sunday is January 1st, the Feast of the Octave Day of Christmas. Mass times will be as usual for Sunday (7:45am Low Mass and 10:15am High Mass). There will be no brunch or catechism on Christ Day to allow all to spend time with family and friends. 

Finally, I wish to thank everyone for warm welcome I have received here at St. Stephen of Hungary, and wish you all a very blessed and merry Christmas!

-Fr. Gregory Pendergraft, FSSP
