Celebrating the Prince of Peace

All are invited to St. Joseph Center on the weekend of December 5-7 for a seasonal celebration with the School Sisters of St. Francis!

On Friday December 5 at 7 p.m., the Lakefront String Quartet will perform the St. Joseph Chapel Holiday Concert, presented by Associated Bank Private Wealth. Start your festive season with Christmastime favorites brought to life by a quartet of talented musicians in our beautifully restored St. Joseph Chapel.

After the concert, enjoy a merry-and-bright reception with decadent sweets, a signature holiday cocktail, sparkling cider, a choice of wines, rich hot cocoa, and many delightful seasonal touches that are sure to put you in the Christmas spirit!

Proceeds from this fundraiser will support our sisters’ ministries across the United States and our missions around the world. Reserve your place by ordering your tickets today!

Then, on Saturday and Sunday, our sisters invite you to an exhibit of nativity scenes from around the world, as well as an opportunity to tour St. Joseph Chapel and visit the traditional nativity scene that has delighted visitors for nearly a century. There will also be a video puppet show about St. Francis of Assisi’s first nativity scene more than 800 years ago.

The exhibit and tours (in English and Spanish) are free and open to the public. They will be offered on Saturday, December 6, from 1 – 3 p.m.; and on Sunday, December 7, from 10 – 11 a.m. and again from 1 – 3 p.m. All are also welcome to attend the 9 a.m. Mass on Sunday with the sisters.

Please join us for this wonderful weekend of holiday festivities!
