It just wouldn't seem like we celebrated Christmas at our parish if we didn't decorate and sing!  My thanks to everyone who gave their time and talent to "green" the church; to help us sing our carols; who did things nobody saw...in order that the rest of us could dress up, enjoy the liturgy, and give praise to God for the gift of Jesus the Christ.  May God bless you for all your labor.  Thank you so much, in the name of the whole parish.
