St. Nicholas Celebration
St. Nicholas made his annual visit to St. John Byzantine Catholic Church School of Religion/ECF program. The parish did not have its regular St. Nicholas Celebration (due to the pandemic) that included a Christmas play, carols, potluck lunch, cookie walk and visit from St. Nick. During class, St. Nick was welcomed by the Hymn to St. Nicholas and Byzantine Christmas carols. St. Nicholas with the help of pastor Father Nicholas deProspero passed out gifts from GCU Lodge 69 to the students. Students were filled with the joy of St. Nicholas! GCU members Fran Petro and Alex Riebe are co-coordinators of the School of Religion ECF Program.
