The Bless the Baby Jesus devotion will be held with Fr. Cooper on Sunday, December 17th as part of the 11:00 a.m. Mass for the Third Sunday of Advent. This is an excellent opportunity for families to grow in faith as the “domestic church.” All Children are invited to bring a figurine of the baby Jesus, particularly from their family Nativity Crèche to be blessed by Fr. Cooper during Mass. Fr. Cooper will invite the children to sit at the foot of the step of the sanctuary for the homily and then to come forward to have their figurines blessed. Please come and enjoy this beautiful Advent Mass and devotion.
Breakfast with Baby Jesus
Immediately following the Bless the Baby Jesus devotion on Sunday, December 17th as part of the 11:00 a.m. Mass, there will be a hot Breakfast with Baby Jesus including eggs, bacon, and biscuits served in the Cafeteria. Hospitality coffee and donuts will also be provided for those not wishing a full breakfast. The suggested donation is $5.00 per family.
We will have several activities for the children: making a nativity ornament, constructing an advent wreath, and camel food to name a few. Our CCD high school students, accompanied by other volunteers, will also put on the brief play about keeping Christ in Christmas. Please come and join in this faith-filled, family activity!
