On Sunday, December 17, 2023, at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, our Cathedral Choir, Cantors and Youth Singers under the direction of Rebekah Danks and Vasilije Katanic performed a wonderful Advent concert preparing the community for the Feast of Christmas.  The selections included select hymns for the Feast of the Nativity and popular Christmas Carols by such renowned composers as Kornelije Stankovic, Bortniansky, with a finale sing-a-long!

Following the concert, everyone gathered in the Cathedral social hall for a delcious lunch and annual celebration of "Children's Day."  As part of the festivities, our Sunday School students, under the direction of Vasilije Katanic and Mirjana Pavichevich, performed a play which was a local daptation of the popular movie, "Home Alone" with a Nativity Pageant.  The students, parents and guests were all thrilled watching this inspiring performance by our students.  As a finale, everyone welcomed "Jolly Ol' Saint Nicholas" who presented gifts to all the children.
