Seasons & Festivals

Life is enriched by living in the time of the church. Colors, images, and themes arise from the observance of church seasons and festivals. Commemoration of significant persons of faith helps us recall exemplars for our lives today. Find upcoming festival and commemoration information, seasonal background and listings, and more.
