Annual Candlelight Procession Each Christmas season, local churches invite their parishioners to join in a candlelight procession from St. Rita's Catholic Church at Baldwin and Grand View down to Kersting Court. Those in the procession sing Christmas Carols and hymns during the procession. The procession is led each year by two local children in costume, playing the roles of Mary and Joseph, carrying a statue of baby Jesus. When the procession reaches Kersting Court, Mary and Joseph place the statue of Jesus in the creche, and then the pastors of the various churches read scripture from the gospel, interspersed with more singing of hymns. One last round of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" is the traditional final song. Here are links to pictures and video that we have taken different years. For some interesting history on the origin of the procession, be sure to check out the article written in 2007. I have video and photos from 2003 - 2005, will add those as I find the time |
