St. Mary's Church

Join St. Mary’s Church, 280 Washington Avenue in Dumont, NJ for Simbang Gabi 2025
This year’s Simbang Gabi will be celebrated on Friday, 12/19. We are introducing some format
changes to the celebrations:
Mass time. The Simbang Gabi Mass will start at 6:30 pm, instead of the usual 7:00 pm.
Nativity Presentation. A new Nativity Presentation, authored by our own Music Director, Luis Chavez, will replace the Nativity re-enactment.

New location. The new presentation will be held at the Upper Church, instead of Szelest Hall. It will immediately follow the conclusion of the Mass.

Format/Adaptation. The Nativity will be entirely scripture-based, with narrations and songs by our St. Mary’s youth.

Participants. Our children will continue to play the roles of Mary, Joseph, Angels, Shepherds and Wise men.

We are excited to introduce and share with you this new Nativity Presentation. Afterwards, Simbang Gabi celebrations will continue at Szelest Hall for the traditional dinner, raffles, Santa’s visit and line dancing.

Please call 201-384-0557 or visit www.stmarysdumont.org with questions.

Dogtopia – Dog Daycare, Boarding, Spa & Wellness

Dogtopia of Wesmont Station

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization. Our highly trained Canine Coaches are always on hand to encourage good behavior, monitor interactions, and provide lots of love and attention. Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols. At Dogtopia, we’re passionate about giving dogs the love, exercise, and socialization they need to thrive — while giving pet parents peace of mind. Discover why so many families trust us as their dog’s second home.
