We joyfully anticipate the 4:00 pm Christmas Eve Mass to be overcrowded and the smaller parking lot to fill up quickly. We strongly advise you to arrive at the parking lot by 3:00 pm if you want to be able to park close to the church. We ask that you follow the directions of the Hospitality Ministry, Ushers and parking assistants to ensure the safest and most streamlined parking and seating arrangements.

Once the church is filled to its legal capacity, we will be seating parishioners in the Parish Activity Center (PAC). The PAC will be beautifully decorated and will be set up to watch the Mass. You will be able to receive communion and fully participate in the Mass. If you are sensitive to incense, if family members prefer more ready access to restrooms and the parking lot, or if children need more space to move, the PAC is a great choice. If you are a parishioner and don’t mind sitting in the PAC, consider doing that as a gift of kindness to guests.
