Holy Night: Father Beatus Kitururu, standing center, reminded residents of the reason for the season: Jesus arrived in the form of baby to declare God’s love to the entire human race. Afterwards, Father Beatus sprinkled holy water on those in attendance.
Gathering in song: New Community Manor Senior residents and staff gathered in front of the building on Orange Street for its longstanding tradition of blessing the crib in a nativity scene featuring Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the three wise men. The group sang “Silent Night” to kick off the event.
