About Sister's Christmas

Sister’s Christmas Catechism, conceived by Maripat Donovan with Jane Morris and Marc Silvia, is the latest installment in the Late Nite Catechism series, a hilarious unconventional tutorial in Catholic holiday traditions. Sister’s Christmas Catechism is an opportunity to dive in and solve the real mysteries of the season. Perfect for those who need to know where the Magi’s gold is actually hidden. “Sister” Denise Fennell, Boston native now residing in Los Angeles, will conduct the proceedings and a local choir will not only be featured before the performance, but will then also be lured into her classroom for the nail biting start of the show.


“… in Denise Fennell a well-nigh perfect embodiment of Donovan's Everynun has been found
