The four weeks of Advent brought an array of Christmas concerts and live Nativity performances to Catholic schools across the Archdiocese of New York, reminding the faithful of the true meaning of the season: joyfully awaiting the birth of Christ Jesus.

Participating schools included:
- Cornelia Connelly Center (Manhattan)

- Immaculate Heart of Mary (Scarsdale)
