“And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.” Luke 2:7

Rejoice and Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary extend our warmest Christmas blessings to each of you. We thank God for the many graces He has bestowed upon us in this past year and ask for His continued blessings in the year to come. May the peace of Christ, which transcends all understanding, fill your hearts and homes this Christmas season and throughout 2025.

In Christ’s love and peace,
