Bring your wrapped "Gifts from the Magi" to the 4:00 pm Family Mass on Christmas Eve! This Christmas, our parish family will once again be supporting Epiphany Center, a local non-profit which provides holistic, client-centered care to a diverse population of families who are the most vulnerable in our society. All gifts will be delivered to Epiphany Center the week between Christmas and New Year's for distribution.
Midnight Mass is at 11 pm Christmas Eve. A schedule of Christmas Masses, as well as Feast of the Holy Family, New Year's Eve, and the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, New Year's Day (at 10 am only) is available.
