Many of our parish family gathered on a cold night to share cocoa and cookies, sing carols and prayer while we lit the campus and heard the Bell Tower ring forth, announcing that we are people of God. It was a festive evening, including a surprise visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, music led by members of our music ministry, and prayers led by Father Santhosh. One highlight was when our bell rang for the first time in decades, an audible peal, announcing that we proclaim the truth that the Author of all beauty is worshipped here.

Special thanks to our maintenance staff, Frank and Eddie, for decorating our campus with lights and the Nativity Mangers. And many thanks to Ona, our office manager, and the many volunteers who donated goodies for our time of fellowship. May the Lord bless our parish and school family as we continue our wait for Christ's coming at Christmas.
