Celebrate the Christmas Season
in the magnificent setting of the Church of Saint Jean Baptiste
THE
CHRISTMAS SEASON
AT
SAINT JEAN BAPTISTE
Lexington Avenue at 76th Street, New York City

Today the darkness
begins to grow shorter
and the light to lengthen,
as the hours of night
become fewer. . . .
Realize that the true Light
is now here and,
through the rays of the Gospel,
is illuminating the whole world.
