Sister is Back!

LATE NITE CATECHISM:
“THE HOLY GHOST AND OTHER TERRIFYING TALES”
BRINGS LAUGHTER AND SPOOKY FUN TO MATER DOLOROSA

“Late Nite Catechism” is returning to Mater Dolorosa on
Saturday, October 22 at our 19th Annual Harvest on the Hill Fundraiser.

In this hilarious one-woman show, “Sister” once again treats the audience as members of her adult catechism class and explains the Church’s take on all the familiar Halloween tales of ghosts and goblins. Her sidesplitting lessons will resonate with Catholics and non-Catholics alike.  Full of Sister’s signature class participation, you may even get hands on experience in building a Catholic appropriate Halloween costume.

Invite your friends and family (adults only) and join us for a fun evening filled with laughter and interactive theater with "Sister."

The dinner theater will be held outdoors. The evening will also include Mass, hosted social, dinner, and our customary Vocal Auction, Raise Your Paddle (Fund a Need), and Opportunity Drawing. Tickets for Harvest on the Hill are $150 per person. Overnight accommodations are available for $100 per person.

The New York Times in 1996 declared, “Late Nite Catechism speaks to an audience much broader than the membership of any one church.”

Register Now!
