Christmas Pageant 2025

This year's Christmas Pageant was a joyful celebration shaped by the children’s hard work, shared purpose, and growing friendships, a reminder of why this annual event has been cherished throughout the years.  41 children and 14 adults brought the story of Jesus’ birth to life with a balance of fun and reverence. Beyond a great performance, this annual event is one of the ways we reflect on the Mystery of the Incarnation and share the message of God's enduring love. 

A big thank-you to the families who made this possible during such a busy time of year. Your steady support is what makes this beloved tradition happen. We’re especially grateful to Mary Lou Southwood for the time, care, and creativity she poured into costumes, and to Mother Cameron and Alan Lewis & Choir for coordinating the procession and bringing such beautiful music to the production. The invaluable support of our catechists and volunteers along with the help of the sextons and AV crew made this event run smoothly. We were also so happy to welcome our friends from Tree of Life again this year. Rabbi Jeffrey Myers played the part of Moses, along with several other members of the Tree of Life community who added extra fun and energy as camel-riding magi. 

After the pageant, a Nativity Petting Zoo, open to Calvary families and the wider neighborhood community, added more joy and fun to the day. The Hanukkah party, which included delicious food shared by the Tree of Life community, was a perfect way to conclude the event.

We’re deeply thankful for the friendship between Tree of Life and Calvary, a relationship that continues to be a true gift. Sharing this day together reminded us that interfaith friendship is something we live, practice, and pass on to our children. In a world that can feel divided, moments like this matter. They show us that we can honor our differences while still choosing connection, respect, and love of neighbor. That kind of relationship is part of the peace we long for at Christmas.
