Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) at the Vigil Mass (Dec 24, 2020)


“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Although the Gospels do not record a single word from the lips of Joseph, his faith speaks volumes!
