December 15 was a joyous occasion over at the St. Martin de Porres Senior Center for the Diocese of Providence as they celebrated their annual Christmas party. The afternoon was full of carols, thoughtful gifts, a beautiful meal, and a special visit from Bishop Thomas J. Tobin. Bishop Tobin told the seniors that he prays that God will continue to bless them this Christmas season and in the new year to come. “It’s comforting to know that in the birth of Jesus, God is with us and that makes all the difference in the world. That’s why in this Christmas season we can celebrate so well with joy, with peace and with hope — because of the promise that God is always with us.”
