My dear friends, on this great celebration of Christmas 2021, I join Father Jerabek and Father Ward to welcome all who are here today to commemorate our Lord’s birth.

There’s something about beginning a new year that raises the specter of hope in each of us.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, I trust this Christmas time is going well for you!

Dear friends, again, on behalf of all of us here at the Cathedral of St. Paul and the Diocese of Birmingham, I wish you all a very Happy New Year. May it be a year filled with grace and peace!
