Christmas Break is finally upon us!! On Saturday, December 12th, the seminarians drove away from the seminary and headed home to spend the Christmas season with their families and friends. I was so thankful to be able to get home and immediately enter a brief period of hibernation. Finishing papers, studying for exams, and actually taking exams really wears you out. The break will not be all sleeping, however. I will be volunteering at the church office for a majority of my time home, something I absolutely love doing!!
For Christmas, I am serving at St. Charles for the 7:00 p.m. Christmas Eve and Midnight Masses. I will also be playing my trombone with the choir at the 10:00 a.m. Christmas Mass. It is going to be an exciting time gathering family and friends together for the celebration of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (more…)
