Adult volunteers who will remain at rehearsal (and help control the chaos) would be much appreciated!
NOTE: On Christmas Eve at 4:00 p.m., there will be two Masses celebrated simultaneously: The children’s Mass in the Sanctuary and a traditional Mass in the Social Hall. Those who want to attend the children’s liturgy in the Sanctuary MUST arrive very early for seats. Once the Sanctuary is full, individuals will be directed to Mass in the Social Hall.
