Upcoming Events 2024!

From December 3-5, leave a shoe, (a clean one please!), in Fr. Tyler’s office and then come back on Friday the 6th to find some goodies inside! Saint Nicholas, pray for us! 

December 6th is the feast day of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children. St. Nicholas of Myra is a major saint in many European and Eastern countries, and one of the old Christian traditions surrounding his feast day is for kids to leave their shoes out overnight in front of the fireplace, on the windowsill, or outside their bedroom door so that St. Nicholas can fill them with special fruits, candies, and other small gifts and treats. This tradition grew from the story of when St. Nicholas, the Bishop of Myra, threw bags of dowry money, either through a window or down a chimney, into the home of an impoverished family to rescue their daughters from being sold into slavery. This was just one of his many acts of good will and charity towards the poor, especially poor children.
