President's December message
|
|
|
As we approach end of the year, I would like to take this moment to thank the 2023 Board of the Men’s
Ministry for all their dedication and support. Many times, they have helped me out, filling in the gaps
and divots of my shortfalls, and smoothing out the rough spots in this stretch assignment. These are the
faithful and trustworthy members who form the backbone of our group, and I am very grateful to their
help throughout the year.
With the new year, the Men’s Ministry is looking forward to introducing new board members. Many
have served beyond the standard term, and are now ready for an advisory role. When the opportunity
knocks, please consider committing to the next board, and continue the Ministry’s purpose within the
Parish. We need your support.
After the Christmas party, our December meeting will be (as always) on Tuesday, the 5th in the Mission
A/V room at 7:00. Please make plans to join our fellowship as we review the Fall Retreat and Christmas
party, and plan our participation in the Dedication of the New church. Refreshments will be served.

Yours in Christian Brotherhood,
-Greg

Celebrate the TRUE Meaning of Christmas: Las Posadas – December 15-23
|
|
|
Las Posadas, the ceremonial reenactment of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, celebrates its 41st year at Old Mission San Jose. Join us for any of the nine evenings to sing Christmas carols and process from the Mission porch to a local venue for
entertainment and refreshments. Each night is different, but the Mission hosts renowned soprano Kristen del Rio on December 15th. Our St. Joseph School hosts December 16th.
And the final night, December 23rd, will feature Christmas music performed on our magnificent organ by music director Ron McKean and vocalist Debbie Rossetto, followed by refreshments and a piñata for the kids. More info at
