Santa Claus Comes to OLQU

As promised, Santa Claus visited our Parish on Saturday, December 12, after the 5 PM Mass. The Social Committee hosted the drive-through Santa visit at the main entrance of the church. As it was also the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, there was a booth for her, and there also was a stable for Baby Jesus.

On December 8, Pope Francis announced a Year of St. Joseph to honor the foster father of Jesus. One Voice had a story about the announcement in the December 11 issue, and you can find the text of the Pope’s Apostolic Letter on St. Joseph, Patris Corde, at http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/papa-francesco-lettera-ap_20201208_patris-corde.html#_ftn6
