Las Posadas is a beautiful tradition faithfully passed on from one generation to the next in Hispanic families. This devotion is a reenactment of the journey of Mary and Joseph asking for lodging in Bethlehem. Several times Joseph asks for shelter for his family and several times he is refused, until the owner of a stable recognizes the couple as holy pilgrims and bearers of salvation, and lets them in.

 Join us on Friday, December 10, 2021 at 7pm in the Church for the St. Bonaventure Las Posadas.   The children in the Sunday morning Spanish Faith Formation classes will be reenacting the journey of Mary and Joseph.  Traditional Las Posadas hymns will be sung as we move from “inn” to “inn” before the Holy Family reaches the stable where Jesus is born.  

Friday, December 24 at 4:00pm

Trunk or Treat will be Saturday, October 30, 2021 after the 5:00pm Mass in the Halls and side parking lot (6:00pm setup & 6:30-7:30pm Trunk or Treat).  The Knights of Columbus are returning with their Haunted House in the Small Hall.  We will have crafts for the children while people decorate their trunks and get ready to hand out candy.  Everyone is welcome.  We need people to hand out candy as well as children to collect it.  If you are an empty nester or grandparent who misses the costume parade, join us.  Maybe your small group would like to participate?  It's fun for everyone! Contact Eileen Limberg with questions or to sign-up (to give out candy and/or bring your children).
