Children enrolled in the St. Frances of Rome Church religious education program, above, began preparing for Christmas at a family Advent workshop late last month. The children and their parents visited stations set up in the Clifton Center (the parish’s former school building) to learn about this holy season.
In the photo at left, Sarah Miles, 5, hung an ornament after learning about the Jesse Tree. The students also prepared prayer blankets during the program which will be given to people in the parish who are home bound or in need of healing.
