This painting of St Francis of Assisi Church in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico is by artist Olga Atencio Garcia.

The image appears on our Congregation’s 2018 Christmas card with this message:

May your spirit arise and quicken
with the Good News of the angels:
God our Light
is born in our midst
bringing peace, justice, and joy!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year,
Dominican Sisters~Grand Rapids

_____

Que su espíritu se levante y se acelere
con las Buenas Noticias que traen los ángeles:
Dios nuestra Luz
nace entre nosotros
trayendo paz, justicia, y alegría!

Deseándole una muy Feliz Navidad y
el Año Nuevo lleno de bendiciones,
Dominican Sisters~Grand Rapids
