We would be honored to have you and your children join us for Mass to celebrate the Nativity of Our Lord this year! We are asking the children in our Faith Formation program to volunteer for a part in our Live Nativity on Christmas Eve before the start of 9 PM Mass at St. William. We need 8 to 10 children to portray Mary, Joseph, and shepherds, and approach the altar dressed in costumes just prior to the start of Mass. There are no speaking roles to memorize. You may, however, sing along as the choir sings Silent Night as you walk to the altar if you wish! IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE CHRISTMAS EVE PROGRAM, please bring your child to the St. William Church Commons (main building) on Wednesday, December 19 at 6:00pm for costume fitting and rehearsal! We will need all participants to arrive at Church on Christmas Eve by 8:00pm. Our program will start at 8:30pm and Mass will start at 9:00pm. There will be no time to costume fittings or rehearsal on Christmas Eve, so it is imperative that you come on Wednesday! We are looking forward to having your child participate in our program! If you have any questions please feel free to call Dawn Whidden at 828-361-5810 or Theresa Gaffney at 770-653-0803. Thank you! The St. William Catholic Church CFF Teachers
