We are happy to have your child/children participate in the 2008 Christmas Pageant held during the 4:00 p.m. Mass on Christmas Eve. All 1^stthrough 5^th graders who are not in Mrs. McGowan's childrens choir are eligible.

Reigstration forms for this event will be handed out to students in Grades 1 through 5 in class during the week of October 27^th. Check your child's backpack for forms. If your child is absent, please come into the Religious Education office to pick up your registration form or download one from our website. Home-school children can download a form from our website or pick one up in the Religious Education office.

General Information: Reigstration forms for participation in the Pageant must be returned to the Religious Education Office no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 7, 2008 at which time all parts will be drawn by lottery and assigned. You will be sent an email with the results. In order to be fair to all, no request for a specific part will be taken, no names will be accepted after the lottery drawing, and children may not switch parts. We ask that you discuss the part with your child prior to the rehearsal and notify us if he/she does not want the part assigned so we may draw another name.
