I would like to pass on good wishes for the Christmas holiday and wish your families happiness, prosperity, success, and the mercy of God.

I many times emphasized the contribution, with which the Georgian Catholics have enriched the Georgian history. Georgian Catholics are an inseparable part of our cultural, spiritual, educational, as well as our common national and multi-ethnic heritage. Our traditional values have been tested over centuries and proven many times in modern times as well.

I once again congratulate you on this great holiday. Let’s pray together for the prosperity of our families, our homeland, and a better future for our nation.

Sincerely,

Mikheil Saakashvili

President of Georgia
