At 7 pm on Thursday, December 5, we begin the celebration of our “altar feast.” The cele- bration of a parish feast ought to be something special, full of prayer and good fellowship. It is kind of like a birthday party. It is something that each of us should participate in, giving thanks to God for our place of worship, for His innumerable mercies to us, for the inter- cessions of our heavenly patron on our walk through life, for our parish family and our fellowship.
