10th Anniversary Mass & Christmas Tree Lighting

Get into the Christmas spirit at one of the Catholic Trojan family's most beloved community events!

Mass: 4:30 p.m.

Following Mass we will celebrate the Christmas season by lighting our Christmas tree with many more planned festivities for the family to enjoy. This event is free and open to the public.

The CC has a long tradition of celebrating Friendsgiving and 2022 is no exception. We will be sharing a traditional American Thanksgiving meal but need your help! We will prepare the turkey and ham, but we need you to supply the sides: vegetables, dessert, potatoes (sweet or mashed) and gravy, stuffing (vegetarian or regular), and cranberries. Your side is your entrance in to Friendsgiving so don't come empty handed. The deadline to RSVP for this event is Monday, November 14th in order that we have all the food we need to celebrate with our Catholic Trojan family. We look forward to praising the Lord together in gratitude for the friends He has placed in our lives this year.
