“Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox;
that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.”

Hello All,

This will be an unusual Advent, Christmas and New Year for me. I will be in for El Paso from 12/17/18 until 1/4/19 to volunteer at Annunciation House https://annunciationhouse.org  in El Paso, TX. Here is its mission: In a Gospel spirit of service and solidarity, we accompany the migrant, homeless, and economically vulnerable peoples of the border region through hospitality, advocacy, and education. I am unsure of what exactly I’ll do and whatever is asked, I’ll try my best to do it. I’ll be bringing my hair cutting materials, while wearing my nursing hat and simply be a presence of welcome to our sisters and brothers seeking refuge- who are much like our Holy Family as they fled to Egypt. 

Please keep me in your prayers, and even more, keep these sisters and brothers of ours in your prayer so that they may find a place of welcome and peace.

Much peace to you,

Sr. Donna
