+Holiday Grief Program: Catholic Family Services will be offering a one night Holiday Grief Program on Tuesday, Dec. 1st from 6-8:30 p.m. at Catholic Family Services, 523 N. Duluth Ave., SFSD.

+The Created in His Image and Likeness Series continues Thursday, Dec. 10th at 7 p.m. at St. Therese Parish. Dr Chris Burgwald will present “The Incarnation: Like Us in All Things.” Jesus was human too. Too often we think that we cannot live as He did because He is perfect and we aren't. The truth is, while He is fully God, He is also fully man. He shows us how to live, how to be authentically human. Join Dr. Chris as he sheds light on the dual natures of Jesus Christ.
+The live productions of the 24th Annual Christmas at the Cathedral have been cancelled due to the rising numbers of COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in our state. However, you can still experience Christmas at the Cathedral in the safety of your home with your loved ones near (or far!). A special pre-recorded production of Christmas at the Cathedral will air on KELOLand TV on December 25th at 6:30 p.m. This special production, “That’s My God,” will feature new stories and interviews highlighting the celebration of God’s incarnation into our human condition during times of uncertainty and crisis, much like we are experiencing today. All proceeds from this year’s production will benefit the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House and Cathedral of St Joseph Endowments.If you would like more information about how you can secure a virtual code to enjoy a special production of “That’s My God” at your home or business before December 25th, please call our office at 988-3765 or send an email to events@ccfesd.org.
