Dear Families,

As we approach the joyful season of Christmas, we are reminded of the great gift that God gave to the world in the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. This time of year is not only about celebration, but also about reflection—about the love, hope, and peace that Christ brings to our hearts.

At Holy Childhood, we have had a wonderful Advent season filled with learning, giving, and growing in faith. We have witnessed the kindness of our students, the generosity of our community, and the spirit of togetherness that makes our school family so special.

As we gather with our loved ones, let us remember to keep Christ at the center of our celebrations. May this Christmas bring peace, joy, and a renewed sense of gratitude for the many blessings we have in our lives.

We are grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to the blessings of the New Year.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

In Christ’s love,

Mr. Keefe
