Father Marcel Taillon joins Patrick to discuss St. Nicholas: Generosity (4:07) Who was Saint Nicholas? (12:58) What is the importance of Generosity? Charles - Comment about a generous person who helped me at Christmastime several years ago. (18:34) Break 1 Mike - My mom taught us...we had nothing, but we adopted another family every year who had less.  Carried on in my life now. How does generosity help us conform to Christ? (27:35) Lori - was getting a divorce in 1995 and wanted to find new friends. They knew I didn’t have money for Christmas for my kids so they sent me a check (anonymously). Found out last year.

St. Nicholas always came to the barn. Got apples and hard candies. (37:51) Break 2 John - Was with the police department and family of 4 gave us gifts to give to another family. (43:05) James - At our parish, Santa Clause would come and kneel before the creche. Would help children realize that Jesus came first. How God has been generous to your family.
