The Creche
As the Holy Season of the birth of Jesus approaches, the Creche is placed in the courtyard as a reminder to us all of Serra's reason for being.
The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." ~ Luke 2:10-12
The students from left to right,Taelenuv Tua'au '18, King Joseph Maaele '18, and Tevesi Tauala '17.
