Parishioners of St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish and St. Anne's Episcopal Church gathered on Main Street in Calais on Sunday, December 7, 2025, for the blessing of the Christmas creche erected by St. Croix Council # 149 of the Knights of Columbus. Father Joseph Lukong read the gospel story of the birth of Christ and led the faithful in prayers and invocations, before blessing the creche. Reverend Sara Gavit of St. Anne's Episcopal Church prayed that the community experience a holy Advent. The group recited the Lord's Prayer and sang Christmas carols led by Anne Scott.
The Knights of Columbus erect the creche annually, in the hope of reminding the community to keep Christ in Christmas.
