VERNON — Our Lady of Fatima Church on Breakneck Road in Highland Lakes invited the entire community on Saturday for a Christmas carol festival and a wide variety of refreshments.
Parents with young children were encouraged to come so that the kids could also enjoy arts and crafts making Christmas tree ornaments as well as singing songs that were focused on children.
The story Jesus’ birth according to Luke was presented by a group of young children. Keyboardist John Fanelli provided the music for the occasion.
