Saint Francis and the Christmas Creche

For Saint Francis, Christmas – the Word Made Flesh, God’s act of total self-emptying love – was in itself enough to save the world. Therefore, Saint Francis loved Christmas and rejoiced mightily on the Feast, even creating a living Nativity Creche to share his wonder and joy with everyone, even down to our own day!

As you gaze upon the Nativity Set at Church or in your own home, may you be reminded of and celebrate once again God’s love for His creation.

Your generous support of Saint Lawrence Seminary enables the Capuchin Franciscans – following to this day in the footsteps of our Founder Saint Francis – to form and educate and draw young men into the love, the wonder and the joy of our God.

The seminarians and Capuchin friars join together in thanking you for giving them the gift of Saint Lawrence Seminary.  They pray for you every day and wish you and your family a blessed and merry Christmas.
