Dear Parishioners,

• Tuesday, December 24 1700h Family Mass with pageant
• Tuesday, December 24 1900h Vigil Nativity Mass [St Ann’s Church, K’atl’odeeche]

*All parishioners who will not be travelling to Fort Smith for the Jubilee Mass are encouraged to attend this Saturday evening Mass. Sunday Mass on December 29 will NOT be held at Our Lady of Assumption – we plan to convoy to Fort Smith [weather dependent] for the opening of the cathedral door by Bishop Jon Hansen.

On behalf of Sisters Maggie and Loretta, and the members of the Parish Council, headed by Eddie Smith, I extend my wishes of a Merry Christmas, filled with God’s grace and Peace to you, our beloved parishioners, and a New Year filled with Hope and Joy.

Remain Blessed,
