Christmas @ OLM Watch Party 2020

Share the Good News of Jesus

This year Christmas will be one to remember…

Christmas is a season of celebration, and Covid can’t stop us from celebrating the birth of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.  At OLM, we have celebrated Christmas Masses together in previous years without restrictions with the church filled to standing room in the Narthex. This year, we have an opportunity to host our largest Christmas Eve ever, reaching so many more in our Aurora community and beyond, across the country and even around the world. All Christmas Eve & Day Masses will be livestreamed at olmercy.old.diocesanweb.org, YouTube, and Facebook!

Invite Others

A church building can be an intimidating place to enter for the first time, but now churches around the world are bringing the Good News to people where they’re already at…on their devices.  Even in this season, God is on the move, and we get to be a part of what He’s doing. You can help share the Good News of Jesus by inviting others to our online Masses during Christmas.  Sometimes a simple invitation can be helpful to someone you may not even know is struggling.  Here are some ideas to get you started!
