Our family friendly service will feature a pageant that will serve as The Liturgy of the Word. The pageant will be followed by Holy Communion.

A special musical prelude will precede the service, beginning at 3:45 PM.

Children participating in the pageant will gather in the parish hall at 3:30 PM.

10 PM – Festival Holy Eucharist for the Feast of the Nativity

Our traditional Midnight Mass remains a highlight of the year, with Holy Communion and music with choir, strings, and organ. Please note that incense will be used at this service.

The Grace Parish Choir and Cumberland Strings will present a concert of beloved classics preceding the service. The concert will begin at 9:30 and feature tenor Theodora Anne Schramm “Ave Maria”, “My Soul Doth Magnify” from Christmas Oratorio of Saint-Saëns along with Bach’s “Wachet auf” for full choir from Cantata No. 140, Britten’s “This Little Babe” for women’s voices and harp, Arnesen’s “Cradle Hymn”, William Dawson’s arrangement of the spiritual “Mary Had a Baby” and many more.

If you have never had the opportunity to come to Midnight Mass, let this year be your year!
