Voices at Holy Family-St. Laurence parish in Brooklyn carried their culture throughout the Flatlands neighborhood church as parishioners gathered together to celebrate the feast of the Presentation of the Lord.
Faithful in attendance sported shirts that read “bring your torch” in Haitian Creole.
In honor of the day, parish held their own nativity performance wherein parishioners dressed as Mary and Joseph reenacted the moment the couple brought Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem after his birth, filling the church with song and Haitian pride.
