Your participation is greatly appreciated. Birthday Party for Jesus Come to Bethlehem and See We had such a fun time at our annual Birthday Party for Jesus! Our Confirmation II students added their special touch to the celebration and really made the morning full of surprises. St. Nicholas and his elves were there for photos and to read a story that helped us learn more about the first Santa Claus. All of the volunteers helped with refreshments and crafts. There were donuts, cupcakes and lots of treats for all the children and their families. The children that attended brought donations for our parish giveaway and helped decorate our Christmas Tree in the hall. Our children s choir led our Caroling session with voices full of cheer. The audience sat enthralled as our Confirmation II Students presented the play Come to Bethlehem and See. It was a glorious way to begin the season of Advent. Thanks to everyone who helped and participated. May we all enjoy the Blessings of the Season.
