Getting involved in Christmas Eve Masses
St Joseph's
We would like to invite children aged 4+ to be involved in the Christmas Eve Mass on the 24th of December at 6 pm. We will be recreating the nativity scene as the Gospel is being read during the Mass.
Would your child like to dress up as a nativity character?
We need a Mary, a Joseph, a donkey, multiple shepherds and a host of angels!
If you can bring your own costume, that would be preferable. We do have a few spares.
