Celebrate Christmas as a Community - Share your pictures!!

For Christmas Day Mass, we’d like to again share how our community members celebrate Christmas through a brief video to be played at the beginning of the Mass.

We’d like to especially invite new members, those who have not participated previously, or pages needing correction/adjustment, to send high resolution images to Tom Moos (tjmoos@aol.com) by Wednesday, Dec 21, for inclusion in this year’s video.
