Why this Exhibit?

Beginning in the 17th century, families in Naples welcomed friends and neighbors into their homes each December to share beloved crèches they had made and collected. In many countries this practice lives on. Echoing this tradition, we open the doors of our church to invite all to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and answer His call, "Come unto me."

It is this spirit of joy, love and testimony that prompted our inaugural Christmas Crèche Exhibit in 1988.
