CHRISTMAS CANTATA
Whew! Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over! As the season becomes busier and busier, the 9:30 choir of St. John the Evangelist Church invites you to take a well-deserved break in preparation for the coming of our Savior. Please join us Sunday evening, December 18 at 7:00pm— the choir will present A World of Christmas. Under the direction of Ricardo Ipina, this seasonal cantata illustrates, in song, “our sacred unison with Christ” and “the miracle of being at one with the One who is Savior of all.” Have you heard? Music is good for the soul! The cantata will take place in the church.

Catholic Schools Collection
December 25th In Advent 2012, Bishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM. Conv. announced that the second collection on Christmas Day each year would be dedicated solely to Catholic schools in the Diocese of Savannah to provide much needed
tuition assistance to school families seeking a Catholic education. It was decided that each year half of the collection would be divided equally among the 17 Catholic schools in the diocese and the remaining half invested in the Catholic Foundation of South Georgia Endowment, also designated to ensure long-term sustainability of our schools and the needs of our families. In the 2013 annual report, Bishop Hartmayer indicated that the Christmas collection helps ensure that this fund continues to grow and benefit our school programs and our children. “The best experience a youngster can have is a Catholic education and the goal of this endowment is to provide the experience for all of our families.” Please make checks payable to St. John Church.
The collection will be forwarded to the Diocese.
