The BEST present you can give to Jesus is your time, your heart, your prayers, your love. Be sure to leave time in your busy schedules to "BE" with Jesus. We have a number of masses scheduled for Christmas: Dec. 24 at 4pm (Children's Mass), 6:30pm (Family Mass) and 12 midnight; Dec. 25 at 7:30, 9:30, 11:30 and 6:45 Spanish.
