Christmas Eve Mass Nativity Plays.

This year we will be having Nativity plays at our 5pm Christmas Eve Family Masses (one at St Gregory’s Church, and one at St Bede’s College Chapel).

If you have a child or children aged between 4 and 12 who would like to be involved in one of our Christmas Tableau’s (Nativity play) before the Christmas Eve Masses at St Gregory’s and at St Bede’s please contact Judith on 027 261 5655 (for St Gregory’s) and Angel on 021 556 805 (for St Bede’s).

Date and Times of the practises - to be confirmed.

There will be very little speaking involved – mainly just acting as a shepherd, angel, Joseph and Mary etc.
