Sunday in the Octave of Christmas
Thank you. The priests and brothers would like to extend our sincere thanks to all those who contributed to making the Christmas liturgy so beautiful. The choir, decorators, and servers all did beautiful work for the glory of God and their efforts are much appreciated.
