2024 Christmas Message

Merry Christmas! Let the light that was brought into the world on this day, the Light of Christ, be ignited in your heart! So great is God’s love that He sent His only Son as our Savior, an unprecedented and astounding gift.

The joy, hope and peace of Christmas is available each and every day. Jesus calls out to unite with Him in the Eucharist. His Blood, His Body, welcomes and invites us to have a personal relationship with Him.

Allow the message of joy and hope that Christmas brings to live in your heart throughout the year, accompanying you, enlightening others, and providing the grace and peace that only God can bestow. Please join me in prayer also for all who feel hopeless in this Christmas Season, that the Light of Christ may burst through the darkness of despair and fill them with His love.

May the blessings of Christ be with you and your family this Holy Season. Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

+Frank J. Dewane, Bishop of the Diocese of Venice in Florida
