There is an old German tradition of leaving Christmas decorations up until the Feast of the Presentation, also known as Little Christmas, and as we have some old Germans here at Mother of God, we have embraced that tradition. The Presentation is a brief reprise of the Christmas season, so it is appropriate to leave the decorations up until that day. 
    
Now that day has arrived, and we will be taking down the decorations after the 12:05 pm Mass on Tuesday, Feb. 4. Please stop by. We could use your help.
