Events will take place both at the parish’s South Salem church, St. John’s at 82 Spring St. and at St. Paul’s Chapel on Route 123 in Vista.

The Rev. Joseph Campo, rector of the parish, said, “What better way to bring happiness to the people of our town than to share with them the tremendous joy our parish family feels at this time of year, as we herald Christ’s coming in song and prayer.”

The festivities include:
