These could include basic childcare rules (for example: limits on television viewing, bedtime) as well as safety rules (for example: don t let the kids play with knives or matches).

5 Dear Parishioners, WELCOME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS We look forward to joining with you in prayer and fellowship at our Christmas celebrations. A Christmas prayer and wish that you would know how much we care about you. We want you to be a vital part of our community. May Jesus continued presence in our lives bring us great hope, true peace, and profound joy. May our Christmas celebrations remind us of how blessed we are. May the Word made flesh make His home among us. In the light of the holiness of the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, let us pray that our homes and our parish may be a place where love and faith overcome sin and division, where words of support are freely spoken, and conflicts are resolved lovingly in the grace and light of Christ. May God help us to live in peace with all people that we may share in life. Fr.
