FREE Admittance, Star-shaped Soft Pretzel and S'more treat
The event takes place inside our school and on our church parking lot.
All guests will enter the school using Door #4, to wait inside for the outside tour to the Nativity. Each guest will receive a free star-shaped soft pretzel and a S'more treat!
This year we're adding enhanced decorations and storytelling.
Once your group has had their time at the Living Nativity scene, you'll then be able to move around the church parking lot visiting our fire pit, hot dog store, live animals and Bethlehem tents.
The event ends at 7:30pm, but the animals will be available until 8:00pm.
Parking is available in both our school & teacher lots. Our church lot will be closed for the event.
Once the school lots are full, overflow parking can use Giant Grocery Store, or any side street location.
Regardless of where you park, all guests must enter Door #4 - side entrance to the school (Giant side.)
Door #4 is the ONLY entrance into the Nativity queue line.
Once inside the school, you'll be directed through the shepherds in a field, Mary's house, and visit the home of a scribe who wrote the words of Scripture.
Inside the gym:
Shepherds, a mini horse, a Llama, donkey, 2 goats, 2 sheep and a cage of bunnies will share the evening with us!
You may pet the animals, but please don't touch their faces.
Event time is 5:30-7:30pm. Animals are rented from 5-8, so there's plenty of time for our first and last guests to enjoy their company.
Each guest will receive a star-shaped soft pretzel in the gym, while you wait.
The Feast of St. Nicholas, on December 6th, is a Christian and Catholic holiday honoring St. Nicholas, the patron saint of Russia and Greece who was noted for his generosity, especially toward children and the needy.
In honor of this day and in the spirit of giving, we're handing out complimentary S'more treats! Visit our Fire Pit
While supplies last - we're preparing for 1,000 guests!
On sale:
Hot Dogs, Chips, Water and Hot Chocolate
After seeing the Nativity, we encourage you to walk into the warmth of the church, where you’ll find HIS Real Presence in the Tabernacle. Jesus, himself, calling you forth, to comfort your hearts and hear your prayers.
Guests are invited to share prayer requests, which can be hung on the tree or placed in the prayer box. Parishioners will pray for attendees and Father Sahd will place your requests on the Altar throughout the days leading to Christmas, where they'll be remembered in his prayers.
Come celebrate Mass with us!
All are welcome!
