Notre Dame de la Mer Parish in Wildwood was filled with joy and anticipation the evening of Dec. 14 during the Prelude to Christmas Concert and the Holy Nativity Play. The parish’s choir and the Wildwood Catholic Academy Children’s Choir, under the direction of Jonathan Delgado, delivered a prayerful performance that captured the spirit of the season. Father Cadmus Mazzarella, pastor, set the tone for the evening with a warm welcome. After the performance, Bishop Joseph Williams offered a heartfelt thanks, praising the choir members and children. The Bishop ended the evening in prayer with all those filling the church pews.
