The Christmas Season often brings feeling of joy and happiness. Here at Casa Hogar, there is an excitement in the air as we prepare our house with advent stories, symbols and group activities. Christmas is a time of receiving, as well as a time of
giving, where many of us feel called to give of ourselves. We reflect on Jesus’s words in that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35
Over the years, Fr. Joseph Walijewski’s mission has inspired so many to ask how can I help—leaving a legacy that impacts communities at home and around the world. Inspired by your generosity, our children, families and staff at Casa Hogar thread this mission into their own lives—spending time at other houses, soup kitchens and in the community.
“ At Christmas and throughout the year we receive many gifts from all the good and generous people like you and those acts help us to see the love of God. It is also good to recognize that not only are we the needy ones. Because there are more people who lack help during the holidays, we visit other houses that have less than us to share our gifts of time, music and love.” –Ena, age 15 pictured with microphone
We are calling on your help in order to continuing giving to the children at Casa Hogar and to provide a safe and loving environment for these young minds to thrive.
During the 2018 year our house saw many changes, challenges and of course, chaos. We were reminded that it is only because of your support that we are a home, family and foundation for those who have nowhere else to go.
We ask you to prayerfully consider a gift to Casa Hogar during this Christmas Season.
Together, we can offer family, faith and hope for the future.
May God bless you and your family,
Msgr. Joseph Hirsch
