Our 10:30 PM Christmas Eve service offers a quieter, more contemplative celebration of the Nativity—joyful, candlelit, and just formal enough to feel like the holy night it is. It’s not quite a midnight Mass (we’ll all want a bit of sleep before the grandkids wake up shouting about their new bikes), but it brushes right up against it.

This service trades the playful energy of the 4:30 gathering for something calmer and more reverent: fewer jingle bells, more “Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria”s. It’s not lesser, not greater—just a different expression of the same wonder, as we welcome Christ into the world with light, stillness, and joy.
