This year, in preparation for Christmas, we wanted to do something special.  It’s been a tough year in many ways.  I think we are all feeling the need for a “little Christmas” more than at other times.  Like so many in the world at the time of Christ, we are really feeling the need for a Savior.  What is this event exactly? Given the fact that it would be very challenging to have the children’s Christmas pageant at the 4:00 pm Mass this year (seating is very limited at one of our most popular Masses) we are planning on having a variation of the pageant on Sunday December 20th at 3:30 pm.  We will be interspersing music, poetry, art work, and readings related to the Advent Christmas theme as the pageant unfolds piece by piece throughout the event.  Some portions will be live and others pre-recorded or livestreamed into the church from remote locations.  This multimedia event can be experienced in person or virtually through Zoom.  Zoom will allow those who are at home watching to be visible to everyone in church at select times, particularly during the candle lighting ceremony at the end.  It is easy to see that the Holy Spirit is already hard at work bringing these pieces together!  You can choose to be in it, help built it, or both!   

We would like you to be a part of the experience by inviting you to share your talent!  Keeping to the Advent-Christmas theme, please submit a poem, artwork, video recording of a song, monologue, or something creative.  It will be displayed/projected onto a movie screen in the church.  All submissions must be sent digitally/electronically.  If you would like to be considered for something in person (reading, singing, etc.) please let us know.  If it can’t be performed or incorporated into the event, it may be placed in our program/booklet or used some time in the future at another event or venue.  If you are interested please let us know as soon as possible and include a brief description of what you are hoping to do or submit.  We would like to have all submissions by the end of the day on Friday December 11th to allow for enough time for us to put everything together. 

You can reserve a seat and/or volunteer to participate using the form on the right of this page.
