DeSales Alumni Christmas Mass

On December 21st we celebrated our Christmas Mass. The Mass was filled with prayer and beautiful music. Then, directly after the Mass, the whole school sang Christmas carols together. Not only did our Mass Choir work very hard learning new songs, grades K-3 practiced for weeks on the Christmas carols, and Profe's 8th grade Spanish class performed a traditional Venezuelan Christmas song with some students accompanying the class on guitar. Sister Jeanette was also able to join us on cello- making our celebration even more enjoyable!! Mr. Granchelli (our fourth grade teacher) made gorgeous winter snowflakes, and provided us with all of the lights and garland for our stage. He is truly amazing!!! Mr. Claus even came to join us to sing carols and bring a gift for baby Jesus. The Sheldon family really helped us in this endeavor!!! ;) Saint John's kindly provided us with a manger scene, and the Chesko family donated gorgeous red poinsettias to place at our altar. I am truly so thankful to all those involved!!! It was such a great way to end the year, and I look forward to all that is in store for 2018!
