Pre-K through eighth grade Christmas concert at St. Martins

The lovely stained glass medallion will soon become a part of St. Martin School. It was designed and constructed by Dan Pawlisak along with the help of area businesses and was unveiled and blessed at the weekend Masses at St. Martins. Although the center is hard to see, it is St. Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar.
