Frackville children greet St. Nicholas

FRACKVILLE, Pa. - St. Michael the Archangel Church sponsored the annual St. Nicholas Party for children of the parish. The parish's catechism classes and youth group acted out a play that included a holy supper scene, Christmas carolers and a Nativity scene. Between the acts of the play, talented young musicians provided music and singing. The pre-school/kindergarten class, playing carolers and singing "On this Bright Day," stole the show. Finally St. Nicholas arrived. St. Nicholas spoke with all the children and welcomed Father George Worchak to the parish. St. Nicholas then distributed candy to over 50 children. The party was a great success and special thanks were expressed to Joe Chabon, secretary of UNA Branch 242, for being a major sponsor of the event.
