Merry Christmas from the U.D. Center for Catholic Education
Greetings to all of our friends, colleagues, and supporters!
It has been a blessed year for the University of Dayton Center for Catholic Education and the 19th year of our work! As we reflect on the gifts received, you are certainly the ones we are most grateful for. Our prayers for you this Christmas and in 2016 include receiving love, peace, and hope in a world so in need of this spirit. May the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
We are grateful of the gifts of our Lalanne teachers…
…and the Peacemakers!!
Please join us as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the University of Dayton Center for Catholic Education on Friday, June 24, 2016!

Persons are gifts which the Creator God sends to us...wrapped.
Some are wrapped very beautifully,
Some are in very ordinary wrapping paper.
I am a person.
Therefore, I am a gift.
A gift to myself, first of all.
God my Creator, gave myself to me.
Maybe I've never seen the wonderful gift that I am.
Could God's gift be anything but beautiful?
I love the gifts which those who love me give to me.
Why not the gift of me?
Every meeting of persons is an exchange of gifts.
Love is a relationship between persons who see themselves as they really are: gifts given by God to be given to others.
To whom will you give the gift of you this Christmas season?
