Receiving the sacred Infant Christ into our hearts this Christmas— And into our homes the Christmas Season (which lasts until 2 February)

Our community has obtained a Christ bambino and an apprentice of St Joseph has crafted for us a wooden manger for the purpose of circulating for veneration in our homes devotion and thanksgiving for the Gift of Jesus’ incarnation. Dr Chad and Jill Kluver are coordinating the sign up for you to receive Baby Jesus, His manger- carrying case, and a devotional binder.
