2024 Annual Meeting
November 1-3
Los Angeles, CA
The Friends of the Creche bylaws require a meeting of the membership once per year. In odd-numbered years, the annual meeting is combined with a convention. In even-numbered years, the annual meeting is on a smaller scale, but still features presentations on collecting and celebrating nativities, nativity displays, and other activities.
Step away from the busy world and join others who love the nativity
at Mary & Joseph Retreat Center,
overlooking the city of Los Angeles on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
