About the event

The First Christmas: A Living Nativity
Step into the sacred story of Christ’s birth and experience the wonder of The First Christmas: A Living Nativity at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

This peaceful and meaningful event invites you to reflect on the miracle of our Savior’s birth, surrounded by the gentle presence of live animals, beautifully portrayed nativity characters, and the angelic sounds of choirs singing. It’s not a performance or act, but a serene display that you can see that brings the Christmas story to life.

🕊️ Highlights of the Evening:

*Live depictions of nativity characters, including Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, portrayed by parish families.
*An immersive setting featuring animals reminiscent of the manger in Bethlehem.
*Choirs and music filling the air with songs of joy and hope.
*A serene and prayerful atmosphere to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.

Take this opportunity to pause during the busy season and remember the gift of Jesus Christ. Share in the spirit of peace, love, and joy with our parish and community.
