ST ALPHONSE CRECHE 2014
This year we have constructed the crèche at St Alphonse using the figures of the Holy Family rediscovered last year. The theme of the tableau, situated in front of the main altar, is ‘Crib, Cross & Eucharist‘ — three themes linked in the writings of St Alphonse himself. The leaflet for the crèche can be found here in English, here in French, here in Italian and here in Spanish. Our Portuguese and German translators are already on holiday!
