All are welcomed to join us for this celebration of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Here are suggestions for keeping Christ's birthday special this year:

1) keep your Christmas decor up at least until the Feast of Epiphany - the 12 days of Christmas.

2) explain your Nativity Set to your childen and grandchildren  - details at http://bit.ly/tXuXmY
 

3) have a Bible visible to visitors and opened to Matthew or Luke's Gospel
 

4) make sure one of the gifts for your children and grandchildren is a sacred reminder (an icon, rosary, statue, etc.). Enclose a little note telling them how important your faith is to you.
 

5) invite others to sit with you at Christ's Mass (schedule above)

*FYI - the most important form of Catholic worship is called the Mass.  This is a celebration of the Word becoming flesh for us. It is a single act of worship comprised of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.  Other Christians will sometimes use the word "service" or "services."  For Catholics, however, "service" is a general term for religious activity other than Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, or the sacraments.

Directions and more information available on our website - http://www.saintbenedicts.com/.

Parish Nativity Scene

Our new Outdoor Nativity Scene is now up!  It is located on Main Street between the church and the school. It looks beautiful!

A special thanks to all our donors for their generosity.  Our gratitude also to those who built the stable so quickly and so well!

Stop by and say a prayer to the Holy Family.  The Nativity Scene will remain up throughout the Christmas Season (January 9th is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and the end of the Christmas Season). For more details on the basics of Christmas, see http://bit.ly/tXuXmY
