St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 6050 N Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208

Get ready to smile, sing and eat syrupy pancakes with Buddy at St. Paul’s Indy on Saturday, December 6! Two fun-filled sessions (9–10:50 a.m. or 11:10 a.m.–1 p.m.) have been planned, both offering the same programming and experiences. We’re simply spreading things out to make the space more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

Tickets include a pancake and egg breakfast, arts & crafts, story time with Papa Elf, books for sale from The Book Fairy Indy, caroling with Indianapolis Men's Chorus (the louder the better!), hot chocolate, and — of course — time to give Buddy a high-five or a piece of ABC gum and take a selfie!

Tickets are just $10/person (ages 3 & under free*). Space is limited, so hurry — grab your tickets today at stpaulsindy.org/buddy

*Children under 3 still need a free ticket for accurate attendance.
