St.Elizabeth/St.Jules Catholic Church

Friends and families of  St. Jules and St. Elizabeth Church Parishes are hosting the first ever LIVE NATIVITY IN BELLE ROSE.  The event will be held on Sunday, December 9th at 5:00 p.m. at 6951 Hwy. 1.  Both adults and children are participating and we are inviting the entire community to come and experience "preparing the way" for the birth of Jesus.  Our world is so consumed with preparing the way for "Santa" that we want to redirect attention to the real reason for Christmas!

We will have a choir directed by Mr. Jim Ramirez composed of adults and children, an angel will appear to the shepherds as they are tending their live sheep. A host of angels will sing praises.   Mary & Joseph will travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem on a live donkey and Jesus will be born in a cave and 3 wise men will follow the star to Jesus!

Refreshments will be served after the performance and we will have a make & take ornament to take home.

  O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quietude.
 
  You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster.

  During this hurricane season we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with passing of time.

  O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem, where a stormless eternity awaits us.

Amen.
