Advent/Christmas Mass Kicks-Off Christmas Week at GSS

Students in 2nd - 7th grade celebrated the Advent/Christmas Mass on campus as a way to kick-off the Christmas festivities on campus.  The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Henry Davis, pastor of Corpus Christi Catholic Church and chief religious officer at St. Augustine High School.  After Communion, the 2nd grade students presented a Christmas Play.  Donning costumes and props, Ms. Jones' 2nd grade students told the story of Jesus' birth.  A special thank you to Fr. Davis, Ms. Tramaine Jones and her class as well as campus minister Ms. Michelle Lucio.
