Faith and Stewardship



 

The junior high was the final act

of the St. Mary Nativity Christmas program.

They performed the “12 Days of Christmas” acapella with narration

from the fifth graders as to the Christian meaning behind each gift.

Thanks to Mrs. Fleming for letting us

be a little silly yet still share some truths of the faith.
