Christmas Greetings from Bishop Zubik to Woodlawn Council 2161

                                                       December 16, 2019

Dear Mr. Belli and Fellow Knights,

As we celebrate Christmas 2019 remembering the birth of Jesus in the Little Town of Bethlehem, so do we also cherish the ways we meet Jesus in one another.

Thanks for being the face of Christ to me.  Your Christmas remembrance of praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary for my intentions did just that.

May God bless you with a grace filled 2020.

Grateful for our belief that "Nothing is Impossible with God," I am

                                                       Your brother in Christ,

                                                       + Bishop Zubik

                                                       Most Reverend David A. Zubik

                                                       Bishop of Pittsburgh
