Posada at the Cathedral

The word posada means inn or lodging, and traditionally posadas are a celebration of the journey of the Holy Family.

During this posada event, we will sing the traditional posadas song, which tells the story of Mary and Joseph seeking a place for the Redeemer to be born, filled with faith, hospitality and hope. At the end of the song, we will pray the Holy Rosary, and to conclude, we will have a reception with hot chocolate and traditional Mexican-style bread. We will also take home an “Aguinaldo”, which is a bag of candies that represents the joy, generosity and blessings of the Christmas season, as well as good wishes for the New Year. Our bishop, Kevin T. Kenney, will join us in asking for a posada.
