La Salette Christmas Festival of Lights

Thursday, December 27, 2018.  The group enjoyed a delicious family style dinner at Wright's Farm with yummy roasted chicken and sides.  Then we roamed among all the beautiful Christmas Lights and displays at The National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette's Annual "Festival of Lights".  It was much warmer this year and a even bigger group!

First Annual Christmas Party Dec. 8, 2018

We started off the evening with 4pm Mass at St. Mary. We preceded downstairs to the Parish Hall where we lit the candles for the 2nd Sunday of Advent and discussed the history of the Advent Wreath.

We said grace and then everyone enjoyed pizza, salad, drinks and desserts. We had fun games and prizes. Mr. & Mrs. Rodrique spoke with the kids more about Advent and the meaning of preparing to receive Jesus. What a wonderful night with some new members and sharing good times!
