In a world that seems increasingly filled with violence, strife and tough economic times, the season of Advent reminds us of the hope offered to all humankind in the Prince of Peace born more than 2000 years ago.

As we prepare for the celebration of Christmas, the Paulist Fathers, Paulist Associates and lay collaborators join their prayers with yours that a lasting peace might reign on earth.

May the true Spirit of Christmas fill our hearts and minds in during this festive and memorable time and not get lost amid the crowds at shopping malls, strands of twinkling lights and rush of holiday activities.

We invite you to discover the rich history, solid mission and many great works of the Paulist Fathers, our lay colleagues and members of our worshipping communities. All of these efforts have been guided by the Holy Spirit, inspired by the example of St. Paul and have built upon the legacy of Father Hecker. Be sure to visit this site again for up-to-date Paulist news and features.

May these Advent and Christmas seasons be blessing-filled for you.

John F. Duffy
