Christmas is here! It's a season full of homecomings and reunions with family and friends. 

Today, Fr. Mark-Mary invites each of us to return to the grace found in the Sacraments as well as invite our loved ones to join us on that journey toward eternity. 

Depending on where and when you're watching this video, you may not have access to the sacraments right now. But God's love for us and the way that He makes that love present in the sacraments is always waiting for us, and we hope that's what you're hearing from Fr. Mark-Mary in this video today. As always, please refer to the direction of your local bishop. 

God bless you!
