CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2024

Dear Staff, Students and Parents,

As the season of Christmas approaches, it brings with it the true spirit of love, joy, hope, and peace. This time of the year reminds us of the importance of caring for one another and sharing the gifts we have—be they big or small.

Love
Christmas teaches us to love unconditionally, just as the story of Christmas tells of a love that brought hope to the world. Love is not just in grand gestures but in the simple acts of kindness, like listening to a friend, helping a sibling, or reaching out to someone who feels alone. This season, let your love shine in your actions, showing others that they are valued and cared for.

Joy
True joy is found not in receiving but in giving. Think of the happiness you feel when you share a laugh, give a thoughtful gift, or brighten someone’s day. Spread joy by being cheerful, helping others, and making time to appreciate the little blessings around you.

Hope
Christmas is a celebration of hope—a reminder that even in difficult times, brighter days are ahead. Believe in your dreams and encourage others to do the same. A kind word or a supportive hand can reignite hope in someone’s heart, and your efforts can inspire change in your community.

Peace
Amid the busyness of the season, Christmas invites us to find inner peace and share it with the world. Resolve conflicts, forgive past mistakes, and focus on building harmony in your relationships. Peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of understanding and compassion.

This Christmas, let’s make an effort to embody these values in everything we do. Care for those in need, share your blessings, and create moments that truly matter. May your Christmas season be filled with love, joy, hope, and peace, and may you carry these gifts with you every day of the New Year 2025!

Warmest Christmas wishes,

Fr Godfrey D’Souza sdb
