The holiday spirit is starting to percolate at Sai

The holiday spirit is starting to percolate at Saint Barnabas, and it’s time for one of our most joyful traditions: a visit with Saint Nick, Santa and Mrs. Claus 🎅🎄. But this year comes with a twist — we’ve learned that a pair of festive new guests will join us for the first time. Their arrival is a secret, so you won’t want to miss meeting our cheerful holiday visitors!⁠

Hear the story of the real Saint Nicholas ✨ Bring the family for crafts, snacks, and holiday fun. Enjoy a free printed professional photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus 📸 CLick link in Bio for more information!⁠

We begin at 2pm in the Sanctuary with Saint Nick’s story and music from our children’s choir, then head to the lawn for games, crafts and treats. Bring your friends! Click below for details. This free event is open to everyone.⁠
