Advent & Christmas

Persevere, hope is near!

We are in a time of uncertainty and turmoil. Our temptation is to fall into nothingness, a place of despair and lack of hope.  Our heart cries out because we long for something more, the source of life and hope. He who was born in the poor and simple manger is born in the poverty of this world saving us from the nothingness that can lead us to despair and awakening us to hope. Persevere, hope is near!

We are excited to announce that our registration for Christmas masses is NOW OPEN.  When registering, you will be able to register by households of up to either 4 people (at Our Lady of the Fields) or 6 people (at Archbishop Spalding High School).  If you have more people in your household, you can register for 4 or 6 people and then register the additional people by signing up for an additional household. (You will need a separate email address for each registered household and will be sent an email confirmation with your mass time).

When you arrive for Christmas mass, you will find out where you are sitting and be escorted to your row/pew by an usher.

We thank you for your continued cooperation in our effort to celebrate public Christmas masses while maintaining safety for all who choose to attend.

All of the Christmas masses celebrated in the church will be livestreamed.  If you do not feel comfortable coming in person, please join us virtually!
