A display of our many books, videos, tapes and magazines and other resources to borrow is held in October. There is no fee but donations are accepted. Refreshments are provided. There is also a Family Lenten Reconciliation which is open to all. The children of the parish present a wonderful reenactment of Christ's birth.
Many adults help behind the scenes.
The pageant is followed by a potluck meal for the families. Each year youth ministry sponsors at least one service project for the entire CEP program. The 8th grade class does an individual project as well. It also provides support to those experiencing miscarriage, infertility, failed adoption, death of a child or other women s issues. The central area will actually be poured concrete stamped into the shape of bricks forming the outline of our Newman logo.
