Our Virginia....















Vicki, her mother, the choir... practicing for Dec 15th performance.

BTW, Arturo, I didn't know you were a party animal... just kiddin'
Very nice, great job guys!!! :)

Phrase from the Xmas day mass in the Vatican:
"This humanity of the 21st century appears as sure and self-sufficient
master of its own destiny, the avid proponent of uncontested
triumphs, Yet this is not the case. People continue to die of hunger
and thirst, disease and poverty, in this age of plenty and unbridled
consumerism."
- Pope, Benedict XVI -

The Pope also talked about peace and the need for peace in Africa and the
middle east...

Merry Christmas!!

I want to wish you all, all the best for this Christmas
season, may it be filled with peace and joy.
Share with your family and friends the gift of Love,
and even though, we have our frustrations, worries,
concerns, and many of us carry many crosses, l
et's leave them all outside the table this
Christmass eve and Christmas day, and
just remember Jesus is the
reason for the Season.
