Deck the Halls of our Hearts: a Family Event in Preparation for Christmas

Please refer to our current COVID restrictions and requirements by visiting our website HERE.

Come and create family memories as you count down to the last week leading to the birth of the baby Jesus.

Family members will collaborate in hands on activities inspired by scriptural Advent reflections. Art and music will help us solidify the true meaning of Christmas.
