Merry Christmas and a Blessed
New Year!
Christmas 2012
 Dear Friends,

What a wonderful season to celebrate and to give thanks for the presence of JESUS in our life.   You are in my heart this Christmas and you have a very special place in my daily prayer.This is indeed a special Season and we are more thankful for those we love and are mindful that they are precious to us.  I want you to know that my wish for you this Christmas is that you feel the real presence of Jesus in your heart as we celebrate His birthday.

May the One who is the spirit of Christmas give you peace in your heart, joy in your days, and love in all that you share. 

May we continue to give thanks for the blessings God has granted to each of our lives.  May the joy of the holidays renew our commitment to working together for a future of peace, lasting joy and love.

Once again, Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Love and prayers,

Sister Leonarda Montealto, O.P.


Enjoying Peace in the Presence of God


Everyday is a new day for me.  I do not know what the day will bring but knowing that God is in control of my life is enough for me.  Being in-charge of many students, faculty and staff of Holy Angels School, bring my awareness of God and my need for God even stronger and more real.  

It is a joy to experience that the King of Kings, Jesus my Savior, is always present in every events of my life.  What a privilege that is!!! The King is with me everyday!  Realizing this reality in my life …makes me feel really stronger, special and loved.  

I am sharing my experience with you, dear friends, because we believe in the same God and King.  He loves us so much and He is there for us.  All we need to do is pause…everyday…and listen to Him in our heart.  He is just a “heart” away from you and me.
