Our third annual Candlelight Mass of Thanksgiving was held December 20th at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church. Even though it's a newer addition to our Bishop Ryan Christmas season traditions, the event has quickly become one of the anticipated celebrations of the holiday season.
This special evening Mass is celebrated by candlelight, and it's offered in gratitude for all of our families, friends, supporters and volunteers who share themselves with us throughout the year.
Fr. Nelson's message this year reflected on all of our blessings, abundant even in spite of the year's challenges and difficulties, and the confidence that can be found in the work of fulfilling our mission for our families and our community.
