Christian Mothers from Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Altoona gathered on December 6, to celebrate the season with a Christmas Brunch, welcoming members from Saint Mary Parish in Altoona and the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament Parish in Altoona.
The joyful event brought women from all three parishes together in fellowship, faith, and friendship.
A special guest at this year’s brunch was Father Clement Gardner, who delighted the group by sharing heartfelt and humorous Christmas stories from his past. His reflections added a warm, personal touch to the celebration and reminded everyone of the simple joys and cherished traditions that make the season meaningful.
The event concluded with gratitude, new friendships, and Christmas blessings for all families in the coming year.
