We invite you to share photos of how you and/or your parish prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ. Photos will be shared in a special online photo album posted on the diocesan website and Facebook page. Please email your photos to socialmedia@dosp.org or publicly post them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the hashtag #DOSPAdvent. Photos will be added to the album as they are received throughout Advent.
