What are some of your family traditions and how will you have to adjust, or make new ones this holiday season?<\/p>\n
We may not be able to celebrate this Christmas the way we have in the past, but that doesn\u2019t mean the season will lose its true meaning.<\/p>\n
Regardless of whether or not we can attend Christmas Eve Mass as we did in the past, or whether we can visit in-person with friends and family, our hearts should be overjoyed with the birth of our Lord.<\/p>\n
Maybe this is the year for new traditions.\u00a0 Please join us on Christmas Eve day for Mass on YouTube:<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true”
