This year's Lumina Advent Dinner "Lighting the Way to Christ and Healing" took place Thursday, December 4th at the Hilton Westchester, in Rye Brook, NY. There were several wonderful talks, and Lumina Director Theresa Bonopartis laid out the past year's accomplishments and future goals. You can read it here.

“Mercy is love that suffers the evil of another to affirm his dignity so that he does not have to suffer alone.” Pope JP II
Christ did that for us, may we always by His grace do the same for others.
