Sunlight, laughter, and vibrant bohemian colors filled the afternoon, as St. Alphonsus Theological and Mission Institute came together for a joyful Christmas celebration. More than a gathering, it was a moment of gratitude, fellowship, and renewed mission.
In the words of Rev. Fr. Neil Badillo, OFM, SThD:
“Let us eat and laugh, but let us do so with the ‘searching light’ of Christ in our hearts. May this ‘Bohemian Christmas’ remind us that we are pilgrims, not settlers; and that our true mission is to participate in God’s ongoing intrusion into the shadows of this world.”
An afternoon of joy, shared stories, and hearts set on the light we are called to carry.
