“Behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.” - Luke 2:10-11Christmas is almost here! We hope the Advent season has been fruitful and helping you grow closer to Christ.

A little advance planning can help your Christmas Mass be the holy encounter with God that it’s meant to be. We offer seven Masses on Christmas Eve and three on Christmas morning, so there are plenty of options. Please note that we may have well over 3,000 people worshiping (and parking) simultaneously at the three 4 p.m. Masses on Christmas Eve. If you can choose another Mass time, please do!
Remember that going to Mass on Friday evening or Saturday morning for Christmas does not fulfill your Sunday obligation! Our December 26 Mass schedule is our normal Sunday times.

| Know Before You Come - Christmas Eve
- We will have police officers here to direct traffic before and after the early Masses on Christmas Eve. To facilitate exit traffic, all outgoing traffic at all exits will turn right at the peak traffic times. Please follow the officers’ instructions with patience and good Christmas cheer!
- For the three simultaneous 4 p.m. Masses, we will need to use the parking lots near the sports fields across Oak Ridge Road. Drivers may want to drop off their family and then proceed around the back of the school or across Oak Ridge Road to find parking places. Please do not park in No Parking Zones. It is unsafe and impedes traffic flow.
Masses with Incense- Christmas Eve: 4 p.m. Church & Gym; 7 p.m. Spanish

Please Volunteer: Be an Usher!
Even if you can’t make a steady commitment to ushering each week, please step up to help usher one of the Christmas Eve or Christmas Day Masses — just a one-shot deal! This is a GREAT opportunity for a family to serve together. It's not difficult, and we’ll give you all the training you need. Help us be a welcoming community this Christmas.
