Ring in the New Year in the presence of our Lord with a New Year Holy Hour at Holy Trinity Church. Light refreshments will be served following the Holy Hour.
This year the AGP Choir will begin caroling at 8:15 PM, before the 9:00 PM Mass on December 24. Congregational caroling will occur between approximately 8:15 and 8:45 PM. Upon conclusion of congregational caroling, the choir will sing two pieces that will serve double duty as a finale to caroling and as choral preludes to Mass. We hope to see you there for some of the most beloved hymns of our Catholic faith!
The Parish Choir will celebrate the season with a Christmas Concert on January 2 at 7:30 PM at St. Malachy Church.
Oplatki Christmas Wafers will be available in the Parish Office, beginning December 9, for a donation of $3.00, and will also be available in the narthex at each of our churches during weekend Masses. Proceeds benefit the St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Archangel Gabriel Food Pantry.
