Christmas Parish Photos

Here are some photos from around my present parish in Bend, Central Oregon, decorations that highlight the Christian meaning of Christmas. Obviously my pride and joy this year is the Fontanini Nativity in front of our altar in the new church. Some of the photos show those who decorated the respective altars at the new and historic church, respectively the Wesseler family and Judy Kennedy and her friends. This is the 1400th post on this blog, which I started on January 5, 2012. My deepest gratitude to all those who work behind the scenes to make Christmas the special festivity that it really is.
