St. Mary of Nazareth Parishioner and Hospice Nurse, Jacqueline Vallera and Deacon Dan Maxcy will be your hosts.

We will meet in the Fireplace Room. We'll enjoy some tasty snacks and pray the day's Evening Prayer together. There will be wine to enjoy, but you are free to bring your own wine or beverage.
