The Nativity of the Lord: The Incarnation Renewing Our Parish Today

Each year, Christmas invites us to stand once more before the breathtaking mystery of the Incarnation the eternal God taking on human flesh, entering our world not in power or splendor, but in vulnerability, humility, and love. In the Christ Child, we behold the astonishing truth that the Creator of the universe desired to dwell among us, to share our joys and sorrows, to walk with us in every season of life. The Incarnation reveals a God who does not remain distant, but who draws near, transforms, heals, restores, and renews.

Blessing of the Bambinelli

December 20th & 21st at all Sunday Masses

At all Sunday Masses the weekend of December 20th/21st, parishioners of every age are invited to bring the Baby Jesus figure from their manger scene at home to be blessed at Mass.

If your family has multiple Nativity sets perhaps one for the children, one in the living room, or one passed down through generations feel free to bring each Bambinello. Families may also hold their Bambinelli in their hands during the blessing as a sign of love and expectancy for the Christ Child.

May this cherished tradition help us prepare our homes and our hearts to welcome the newborn King!



The Second Day of Christmas

Mass with Father Pawel — Friday, December 26th at 12:15pm ~ Holy Trinity Church

Second Christmas Day also known as St. Stephen’s Day is a beloved tradition in many European countries, especially in Poland. Celebrated on December 26th, it extends the joy of Christmas with continued festivities, family gatherings, and cherished religious practices.

In Poland, most families attend Mass on this day as a way of prolonging the spirit of goodwill, gratitude, and togetherness that marks the Christmas season. It is a beautiful way of acknowledging that the mystery of Christ’s birth cannot be contained in a single day it is meant to overflow into the days that follow.

This year, Father Pawel will share this meaningful Polish tradition with our parish family by celebrating Second Christmas Day Mass at Holy Trinity Church on Friday, December 26th at 12:15pm.

All are warmly invited to join us for this special liturgy as we continue to rejoice in the Lord’s birth.

Please note:
This will be the only daily Mass offered that day, so we strongly encourage everyone to come and celebrate with Fr. Pawel.

Come experience the beauty of this tradition, extend the joy of Christmas, and pray together as one parish family.
All are welcome!
