COMMISSION PURPOSE:

The purpose of this commission is twofold: (1) to support our church in its preparations to celebrate the birth of Our Lord, Jesus; and (2) to promote ongoing fellowship and share the love by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for all who enter our church during the holiday season.

ACTIVITIES 

We find the tallest most beautiful Christmas trees in town, get the tallest ladders we can find, and decorate the trees with beautiful red bows, golden ornaments and lots of twinkling lights. Then we get busy on the rest of the church, hanging long garland and making it look tastefully magnificent.

Of course, we also set up the crèche so that all who visit KNOW the reason we are celebrating the season!

SIGNS OUR COMMISSION IS ACCOMPLISHING ITS PURPOSE

When people congregate to attend mass at our church, we hope see the following behaviors:

• Joyful visitation of the crèche and children happily asking about Baby Jesus
• Frequent attacks of smiling both in an out of the church
• Frequent gatherings in front of decorations for photographs
• Contented feelings of connectedness with others
• Frequent episodes of appreciation and charitable activity
• An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it back to others
• An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment, great and small
