Blue Chr istmas Eve Mass—9:00 pm, December 24th
Rather than being a time filled with lights and laughter, giftstopped with red bows and holiday parties where family andfriends feast and engage in light-hearted conversation, for manypeople, Christmas is a very lonely, depressing, "blue\
time. Whether grieving the loss of loved ones, other losses,feeling alone, wounded or otherwise disconnected from the usualholiday festivities, Christmas can be a very difficult time,especially when it comes to attending Mass.
If you are feeling out of synch this Christmas season, know thatyou are not alone. The University Catholic Center invites you tocome and bring your life experiences and feelings. You arewelcome and accepted.
December 24, Christmas Eve - 9:00 p.m. Life isn't perfect. If itwere, Jesus would not have had to come.
