Saint Nicholas of Myra Celebration for Families
Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, will visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Sunday, December 7! Come for Holy Mass and stay to meet Saint Nicholas! Saint Nick, as he is affectionately known, enjoys meeting children (and their parents)! He will tell them the story of his life, how he became a Saint, and how “Saint Nicholas” became “Santa Claus.” Best of all, he loves to tell the story of the first Christmas! Saint Nicholas will hand out some little remembrances for the children and will be available for photos. Refreshments (cookies & hot chocolate) will be provided.
Join us from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
