Christmas 2025

In December, our Council helped our parish with decorating activities for the Christmas season. This included helping decorate the interior and exterior of the church, assembly of the outdoor Nativity Scene at the front of the church, and placing outdoor luminaries around the church sidwalks on Christmas Eve. We also constructed a life-size Nativity Scene for use at the St. Elizabeth Family Christmas celebration where our Parish School and PREP students presented a Nativity Story play. Of course, Knights helped pack it all away until next year!
