The event will begin with a festive holiday concert in the church sanctuary at 6:30pm featuring Unity Award winner renowned singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker Kitty Cleveland.
Festivities continue outdoors in Mercy Square with candlelit caroling led by the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School Choir, and additional entertainment.
After caroling, sip and savor complimentary jambalaya, pizza, sweet treats and beverages to stay toasty and warm while the kids also delight in toasting s'mores, and making keepsake Christmas crafts. Take time to visit with Santa Claus and take a ride on the Polar Express Train.
Meet and greet Kitty Cleveland at her outdoor tent following the concert, with opportunities to purchase music and merchandise.
Doors open at 6:00pm. Indoor concert begins at 6:30pm. Admission is free and open to all. A love offering will be collected to benefit the Divine Mercy Concert Series and Music Ministry in our efforts to bring additional quality musical events to our Parish. Your support is greatly appreciated!

One-Time & Sustaining Sponsorship Opportunities
-
This annual event was founded in 2021 and serves as an anchor event for the emerging Divine Mercy Concert Series, a program of Divine Mercy Music Ministry. The event has continued to grow in scale, attendance, collaborations, and outreach each year since its inception and meets a spiritual and seasonal need for the parishioners of Divine Mercy Parish ("the Cathedral of Kenner") and our larger community of East Jefferson. Although the focus of this event is a musical one, we endeavor to also provide an outlet for seasonally-themed, family-centric fun and fellowship with candlelight caroling, food, outdoor entertainment, and activities for the kids.
It is our strong desire to keep this event free and open to all. However, due to the upfront costs that are entailed with offering an event of this scale, the ability to continue to offer this event in a free and non-ticketed format relies heavily on generous financial contributions through free-will offerings of attendees, and even more critically on one-time or sustaining sponsorships from supportive and committed underwriters. Whether your desire is to remain anonymous, sponsor in memory of a loved one, or help promote your business, we have creative opportunities to help marry your wishes and/or needs with those of this worthwhile cause. To discuss opportunities, please contact Garrett Fried, Director of Sacred Music ([email protected] ).
Tax deductible one-time and recurring contributions to the Light of the Stable fund can be made any time through our online giving platform via your chosen payment method (credit, debit, ACH).

About Kitty Cleveland
www.kittycleveland.com
Unity Award winning singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker from New Orleans, Kitty began her professional career as a lawyer and then as a college professor. But in an adoration chapel one day in 1998, as she searched for God during a devastating family crisis, she clearly heard the Lord Jesus call her to become a “music missionary.”
Kitty heeded the call and has since released 12 CDs of music and prayer, including two CDs with Lighthouse Catholic Media. Her latest CD, Hail, Holy Queen, was the first of her CD’s to climb the secular Billboard chart. She has appeared numerous times on television, on the radio, in concert, and as a keynote speaker both at home and abroad.
Kitty lives in the New Orleans area with her musician husband and teen daughter, whom they adopted from China in 2005. In addition to praying with people for healing and encouragement, she enjoys cooking, gardening, oil painting, and is currently working on her first book about her father’s unjust imprisonment and dramatic release by the U.S. Supreme Court.
