Spring 2025
Dear Friends,
Last Christmas Eve, the Church joyfully ushered in the Jubilee Year of 2025, a sacred time of hope and renewal. This Jubilee invites us to trust more deeply in the grace of the Holy Spirit, who stirs in our hearts a longing for heaven-our true home and ultimate happiness.
In the Old Testament, the Jubilee Year was a time of restoration, forgiveness, and new beginnings-debts were erased, broken relationships were healed, and society was renewed in mercy. Today, this call remains: to encounter God's boundless mercy and extend that mercy to others. What a gift it is to begin again, to rediscover the joy of belonging to Christ, and to walk forward in hope!
Mary, our Star of Hope, embodies this call in its fullness. Her hope was not mere wishful thinking but a firm and unshakable trust in God's promises— from the Annunciation to the Cross and beyond. She teaches us that true hope changes everything-how we see, how we live, and how we love.
We are deeply grateful to you, our dear friends, for walking this journey with us.
Your prayers, generosity, and support enable us to continue our mission of bringing Christ's love to the world. May we fix our eyes on Jesus, our dawn and our light, and walk forward in courage and confidence, knowing that His love sustains us at every step.
Know that you are in our hearts and prayers. May this Jubilee Year be a time of abundant grace, deep renewal, and unwavering hope for you and your loved ones.
In Christ,
Sister Mary Aloysius Kim, SOLT
