Next, we welcome back Bending Towards the Light: A Jazz Nativity on Sunday, December 15 at 4:00 p.m. This staple of the Christmas season is always a joy to present at St. Cletus and has become a favorite of our patrons.

On Sunday, March 23 at 4:00 p.m., we welcome back the Churchjazz Band for the Jazz Passion. This original composition has toured New York and Germany. We are happy to have another chance to offer this performance again to our supporters.
