Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is perhaps the busiest days of the year at St. Anthony on Lake. Over the course of two days our volunteers and staff will be greeting and serving hundreds of people, parishioners, and visitors alike, all here to celebrate the birth of our Lord. 

Christmas Eve begins with “Three at 3”. Three Masses all beginning at 3 p.m. in three separate locations.

· The Main Church with Fr. Tony Zimmer

· The Parish Life Center with Fr. Ken Knippel

· The Parish Activity Center (Gym) with Fr. Mark Payne

Please note that extra chairs will not be set up in the Gathering Space, and extra parking will be available on the lower soccer field, as well as the upper area around the retention pond. Parking is also available down the road at Aqua Spa. Follow the parking attendants as you arrive. Volunteers will be on hand to guide visitors to different areas of the building that they may not be familiar with.

Masses continue in the Main Church at 5:30 p.m. with Fr.  Ted Lawson and at 10 p.m. with Fr. Tony Zimmer.

Christmas Day Masses are held in the Church at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Both Masses are with Fr. Mark Payne.

All the Masses with be preceded by Prelude Concerts and Christmas Caroling beginning one half hour before.

We want to make Christmas at St. Anthony on the Lake a welcoming experience for all. We highly encourage families to arrive together and discourage the saving of entire pews. Take time now to plan ahead for what Mass you and your family would like to attend, and please arrive early to ensure your place.
