For three decades audiences have joined together to encounter the mystery of God’s Incarnation through music, storytelling, and the unique architecture of the Cathedral of St. Joseph. This year’s theme, “Surrender”, invites us to look through the eyes of St. Luke’s Gospel who reminds us that the Christmas story is not just about a baby being born in Bethlehem. It’s about our God who surrendered His throne to be humbly born into our world for our salvation. It’s about Mary’s unconditional “yes”, Joseph’s abiding trust, and the invitation extended to each of us: to open our hands, release our plans, and trust that God’s plan is better than our own. We hope you can join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Christmas at the Cathedral!

Join us this December out at the South Dakota Veterans Cemetery as we lay remembrance wreaths to Remember, Honor, and Teach. Following a short ceremony at 11:00 AM sharp, wreaths will be placed throughout the cemetery on the final resting place of the Veterans interred there. Sponsorships can be given online: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/SD0021P
We understand we have Veterans Day in the fall and Memorial Day in the spring, but our service members sacrifice their time and safety every single day of the year to preserve our freedoms. In many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. There is no better time to express our appreciation than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
Please plan and dress according to the weather – this ceremony and wreath laying will take place outside. Parking is limited and will be directed by volunteers.
