We will begin with Mass at St. Mary’s at 5:30, and then walk over to the rectory where we will help Father Voitus decorate his many and varied Christmas trees.  Father’s holiday decorations are the stuff of legend, so he needs our help getting everything set up.  He’s providing dinner – we are to bring the cheer!

Mass at 4:00.  Last Mass on campus of the semester!

Credo from 5:15-6:30.  Last Credo discussion of the semester!  We’ll continue our discussion on Catholic morality.  Please join us!

Pax Christi,
