While our 17 seminarians were busy at school, the 11 aspirants took charge of decorating for Christmas. The first chore was to begin to build some kind of stable for our manger scene.
Philimon, Emmanuel, John, Denis, and Gervas seem to have things under control.
Another manger scene was constructed in the dining room by Diof, Saulo, Denis, and George.
Still, another crew of Peter, John, Batazari, and Emmanuel worked in the chapel.
The chapel crew had some real “hands on” work, including Emmanuel making space in the stable for EMMANUEL!
Everything was ready in the dining room; they did a wonderful job of decorating!
The chapel also looked beautiful with decorations throughout!
After Mass, we moved to the dining room for breakfast and gifts under the tree.
