THANK YOU TO NATIVITY DAYS VOLUNTEERS
With grateful hearts, we thank all the volunteers who made Nativity Days possible. From setting up, welcoming guests, serving food, assisting with activities, assisting behind the scenes, cleaning up, and countless other acts of service, Nativity Days was truly the work of many generous hands and hearts. Nativity Days was a beautiful expression of who we are as a parish family, and it could not have happened without you.
May the Lord bless you abundantly!
