Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of Purgatory:
With today’s snow storm, its beginning to look a little like Christmas. I hope everyone is doing well in their preparations for Christmas – both spiritually and secularly. While these challenging times are forcing us to alter our Christmas traditions a bit, we are all still doing our best to enjoy the traditions and celebrate the Birth of Our Lord and the warmth and love of our families and friends.
One Christmas tradition at OLOP that has been special over the years has been the annual Christmas Pageant. I just want to remind you that we’ll be presenting our annual Christmas Pageant this Saturday evening after the 4:30 PM Saturday Liturgy and Christmas Novena Prayers. This year’s Pageant will feature videos and photos from the past 20 years of Christmas Pageants. If you, or your children, or your grandchildren have participated in an OLOP Christmas Concert over the past 20 years, chances are we have a video or photo of you in this year’s Christmas Pageant. There’ll also be opportunities for Christmas Caroling and a special surprise at the end.
The Christmas Pageant will be shown at the Church for those who are attending in person (please remember to reserve a spot through the website), it will also be live streamed on Zoom & on Facebook live. The Zoom Login information is the same information for the 10:30 AM Sunday Zoom meeting. We’ll be opening the video and unmuting all Zoom Participants at the end of the Christmas Concert so that you can wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We’ll also be live streaming on Facebook Live.
So, please gather with your household members, and join us virtually for these special OLOP Christmas Traditions. I look forward seeing you all next week.
In Christ,
Fr. Vincent Farhat
Pastor
Our Lady of Purgatory Catholic Church
