8 St Francis of Assisi was so taken by the mystery of the Incarnation that he wanted to present it anew at Greccio in the living Nativity scene, thus beginning an old, popular tradition that still retains its value for evangelization today. Indeed, the Crib can help us understand the secret of the true Christmas because it speaks of the humility and merciful goodness of Christ, who though he was rich he made himself poor for us (II Cor 8: 9).

Your patience with the scaffolding and slight disruption will be appreciated. There remains money (a bit over $7,000) in the SEAS Church Alive campaign account to assist in payment of this necessary work.

Sunday obligation on December 26 and January 2, will be satisfied by our regular Sunday Mass schedule.
