Christmas Caroling for Homebound Parishioners
December 27, 2018
On the evening of December 27, our Parish Community conducted our second annual Christmas Caroling for Homebound Parishioners. This joy-filled evening was a blessing for everyone involved. Eleven carolers gathered in the Parish Center at 6:00 PM and formed a small caravan of three cars for the short ride to the first of nine stops on the route. Caroling took place on the front doorsteps of most homes.
One parishioner, who cried during the singing of Away in a Manger and Silent Night, said she missed hearing those carols in Church at Christmas and thanked the singers for bringing the Church to her. There were many similarly moving experiences throughout the evening. The group returned to the Parish Center shortly after 8:00 PM for refreshments and to give thanks to God for such a profound and heart-warming celebration of the true Christmas spirit.
Saint Frances Cabrini Parish will celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception with one Mass on Saturday, December 8, at 9:30 AM. Please note: We are not following the regular Holy Day Mass Schedule. The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is the patronal feast of the United States of America, and as such, is always a Holy Day of Obligation, even if it falls on a Saturday or Monday. The 5:30 PM Mass on Saturday evening is part of the Sunday Mass Schedule and will celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent.
