Dear Friends

Happy St Nicholas Day!

As you probably know "Santa Claus" comes from "Saint Nicholas".
"Santa Claus" was a saint....who helped the poor

I'd love to see his feast celebrated on the first Sunday of Advent:
Santa Sunday!  A great example of the spirit of Christmas, the spirit of giving

We think of Santa as part of a secular Christmas. We forget he was a saint. I hope the Church will soon reclaim Santa!
Let's help our children/students find out that Santa was/is real!
