Christmas Mass
We had a great turn out for Christmas Mass. It was great to see those that could attend. We will continue to have Sunday Masses outside for 50 people. To attend you must register in advance using the form available on our website.

We have received the canopies to protect the altar and congregation. So we can have mass rain or shine. We have also received a sound system so all are better able to hear the readings, homily, and prayers. We haven't found a way to combat the cold so be sure to dress warm. As we attend mass we can remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than us who make many sacrifices to attend mass.
Volunteers Needed!
In order to continue having mass safely we need volunteers to make sure masses go smoothly. We are in need of volunteers to help set up, take down, and sanitize. If you are interested in helping please email Terri Nelson.

Thank You!
We are so thankful to all the volunteers who have come to help set up and clean up for masses. We would not be able to do this without you.
Christmas Giving Tree
Each year we host our Annual Christmas Giving Tree. This year was a little different with current restrictions. We pared down and we were able to provide and fill all the needs for 25 families. This would not have been possible with outh the wonderful work of Kerry Munroe and Fran Phelan. A heartfelt thanks to you both for organizing and providing for our Annual Christmas Giving Tree program.
Thank You
Kerry and Fran!
We are entering Unit 3 of our curriculum, Pflaum Gospel Weeklies. We are hosting another Drive Thru pick up for materials for details be sure to contact Cassie Denning. Be sure to also check out our website for resources to celebrate this month.
We hope you enjoyed the Advent Calendar that was put together and that it helped you celebrate in this strange time. We will be starting up Youth Group again virtually via Zoom for details or to volunteer please contact Cassie Denning.
