Guided Walking Live Nativity to be held in Loretto on Dec. 5
Loretto, PA (11/19/2025) — Saint Francis University welcomes the public to attend a Journey to Bethlehem (a guided walking Live Nativity) on Friday, December 5 with two performance times 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. This heartfelt reenactment of Mary and Joseph's journey, brought to life by members of the SFU community, begins in the lobby of SFU's Science Center, located next to the Immaculate Conception Chapel. Two performance times: 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM
This immersive experience is inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi's own celebration of the nativity over 800 years ago in Greccio. Combining prayer, music, live animals, and indoor and outdoor settings, Journey to Bethlehem offers a unique and spiritual way to prepare for Christmas. Attendees are invited to extend their goodwill by contributing canned goods or donating to support our friends at the Dorothy Day Outreach Center, making the holidays brighter for those in need. Celebrate the miracle of Christmas in a way that is both timeless and deeply connected to the Franciscan tradition.
