The Empty Manger

A Time Of Waiting. There's more to Advent than a countdown to Christmas. ... Advent is a time of waiting and preparation for the birth of Jesus.This Advent season, St Joseph Catholic Church will keep the manger empty until Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, we are inviting children and families from the church to place baby Jesus in the manger at the beginning of Mass.

Please arrive 15- 20 minutes early to review the details with the Liturgy coordinator prior to the Mass.
