The rehearsals are on November 29th and December 13 from 3:00-4:30 pm. It is necessary to commit to at least one rehearsal, although attending both would be preferable.
The Pageant will be held on December 20th at 6:15 pm following the 5 pm Mass. There will be a pizza and cookies celebration afterwards for families and members of the congregation to share fellowship.

THE JUBILEE PRAYER
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, rekindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
