Christmas Celebrations in Parishes

On December 25, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord, the birth of our Savior. Christmas is one of the most important days of the Church year, second only to Easter. It is the feast of the Incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh. 

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we come together for Mass to celebrate this joyous occasion. Mass times may be found here. Several parishes also have other activities planned for the Christmas season, which continues through the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord on Sunday, January 11.
