Welcome
Welcome to our Eucharistic Celebration on this Thanksgiving Day
Gathered together with our loved ones on this special day, many of us will carry on the Thanksgiving tradition of going around the table and sharing what we are thankful for this year. Here and now let us think of how we are thankful to God. Gathered here around the Lord’s table, we bring to mind specific times when we felt the presence of the God who gifted us with life and love, with mercy and salvation, with goodness beyond our imagination. Let us respond in thanksgiving.
