We are hurrying and scurrying around in preparation for a big event happening soon -- Christmas. Two thousand years ago, Mary and Joseph were hurrying and scurrying around as well in preparation for a census that required them to travel a great distance on foot and on the back of a donkey--and in Mary's ninth month of pregnancy. Two thousand years hasn't changed the hustle and bustle--nor the reason for it, as it turns out. But what happened on that one silent night in Bethlehem changed the world.
Come and be uplifted by both word and song as the Christmas story is unfolded by the St. Joseph Praise Band! "One Silent Night" premieres Christmas Eve at 7:30 p.m. on the St. Joseph website (www.stjosephmilford.org), the parish Facebook page and on the parish's YouTube pages. Come....let us adore him as we imagine being part of the hustle and bustle on that first Christmas night.
