The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a service of Christian worship traditionally celebrated on or near Christmas Eve. Originally a British tradition (and associated with King’s College), it dates back to the late nineteenth century. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ is told in nine short texts from Holy Scripture, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns, and choir anthems.

The 9am Family Mass
Our 9:00am Sunday Mass focuses on helping our youngest parishioners develop a love for & understanding of Christ, His Word, & the Mass. Children ages 5-10 join friends in the Church Hall following the opening prayers. They work with a catechist to understand the readings at an age-appropriate level. This is a formal worship experience adapted to make it relevant to the lives and experiences of children. Children return to Mass for the Consecration.
The Playground is open after Mass! Come play with friends on our school’s beautiful playground.
