Christmas Mass Times:

At Christmas Holy Cross Parish has 6 masses to choose from.  Here is our schedule:

Christmas Eve:

4:00 p.m Mass in the Gym[all other Masses are in the Church]
4:00 p.m. Mass in the Church
6:00 p.m. Mass
12:00 Midnight Mass

Christmas Day:

7:30 Mass
9:15 Mass

I would like to encourage people to attend Midnight Mass.  Many people like to go to 4:00 Mass before their evening with family and friends, however, the 4:00 Masses are very full-- large crowds, difficulty parking, Mass in a gym.  There is a dynamic excitement that comes with the crowd, but many people do not find it very prayerful.   At Midnight Mass, you are coming after a night with family and friends.  Gathering at that time of night is very specially, and very traditional.  The Music will be very beautiful.   As we pray in the middle of the night we have a special insight into what Mary and Joseph were experiencing in the middle of the night 2000 years ago.  

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas Season, and hopefully that will begin with a wonderful experience of Mass.

peace
