The week before Christmas, the Assumption family of religious, Lay Assumptionists, sisters from several communities, invited guests and the staff of OER gathered once again to celebrate the blessings of this season together, thanks to the hospitality of Fr. Dinh and the local OER community. It was an afternoon of sharing stories, friendship, Christmas carols, and delicious foods both savory and sweet. It truly was a time to celebrate God with us and among us and one another!
