George Willett MC’ed the evening and led prayer over CRS Boston Director Vin Cerasuolo who shared about the diverse ways people respond to God and the birth of Jesus.

Father Donatus Ezenneka shared how the Holy Spirit moved him from a potential professional soccer career to life serving God and how the Boston Nigerian prayer community welcomed him.

An artistic impression of Mary’s journey to Bethlehem was presented by mime, Laurie Ansiono and her daughter to the song Breath of Heaven.

Tony Waddimba encouraged us all to give our widdow’s mite in support of the important work of opening people in the Boston area to the work of the Holy Spirit.

The evening concluded with prayer teams in the chapel and and refreshments and fellowship in the dining room. It was a wonderful evening of doing one thing Charismatic Catholics embrace well: celebrating our faith.
