This lively, family-friendly play brings the beloved Christmas carol to life with plenty of humor, heart, and holiday spirit! Follow the comically self-absorbed Good King Wenceslas as he embarks on an over-the-top quest to have the “perfect” Christmas—complete with extravagant shopping, silly dances, and a high-tech crown. But when he encounters an old friend in need, the King discovers that true joy comes not from presents or pageantry, but from generosity and kindness. Filled with catchy songs, quick costume changes, and laugh-out-loud moments, this playful retelling delights audiences of all ages while sharing a timeless message about compassion and the real meaning of Christmas.

The Great prophecies of a future Messiah/Christ
Examining the Book of Isaiah – In the early Church, some referred to the Prophecy of Isaiah as the 5th Gospel because it so eloquently spoke of the future Messiah/Christ. Thus, it’s no surprise that the Church continually reads from Isaiah throughout the Advent season.
The Infancy Narrative in Matthew
Matthew Chapter 1 – The Good News of the Gospel and the importance of the Lord’s promises to Abraham and David; The Virgin Mary, the Great prophecy of Isaiah and four other unlikely women who were Matriarchs in Israel; Saint Joseph, his silence, his dreams and his actions. Matthew Chapter 2 – The Magi, the Star and the prophecy of Balaam in Numbers 24:17; King Herod, his ambition, his building projects and his reputation in Rome; The Holy Innocents, a great challenge for our culture.
The Infancy Narrative in Luke
Luke Chapter 1 – The Annunciation and Mary’s Fiat; Gabriel’s words and the importance of the Davidic Kingdom; The Virgin Birth and the Great Prophecy of the Son of Man in Daniel Chapter 7; The Visitation. Luke Chapter 2 – The census in Luke’s Gospel and Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem; The Presentation in the Temple; Simeon and his prophecy that a sword would
pierce Mary’s heart; Why did Mary contemplate all these things in her heart?
*The Catholic Biblical Institute in the Diocese of Orange presents these short retreats with the goal of inspiring the faithful to continually study Sacred Scripture. All are welcome to attend.
