Next weekend December 7th and 8th we will have with us representatives of the Catholic Christian Community from Jerusalem and Bethlehem in the Holy Land, who will be displaying some beautiful olive wood creations. It will also be a special opportunity for us to purchase those religious articles. Due to the political conflicts, covid19 pandemic and reduction of tourism, the Catholic Community has come to depend more on the sale of these articles abroad to survive. Therefore, the profit from these sales goes directly to the needy Catholic schools, clinics and Christian families helping them survive and keep their community alive. “Little Bethlehem Arts” has been approved by the Archdiocese of Chicago, many Bishops around the world and by the Diocese of Jerusalem. 

Please stop by and get a gift that will be remembered and cherished by yourself or by someone dear to you especially during this coming Christmas celebration. The handcrafted olive wood religious figurines and articles will be available for purchase after all the weekend Masses.
