Christmas Trees 2025
Once again this year, our churches will be surrounded by REAL Christmas trees illuminated beautifully with lights and on each tree will be a beautiful plaque dedicating that Christmas tree as a memorial to someone who has died or perhaps as a gift for the living, or perhaps in Thanksgiving for what God has given. Throughout the Christmas season, Mass will include the intentions of all those for whom trees have been memorialized, whether living or deceased.
On Saturday, December 7th after the Vigil Mass at Guardian Angels, and 4:45 pm at St. Paul's, we will have a blessing of the trees, and after a countdown, light the trees which will then remain lit each evening during the whole Christmas season until the Feast of the Epiphany in January.
Please consider memorializing one of these beautiful trees. The cost to memorialize a tree will be $150 each. This will cover the cost of the tree, lighting of the tree, and the memorial gift for the church.
You will find a Reservation Form on the website and in our churches which you can fill out and return to the Parish Office with your memorial offering (contribution or donation). Remember, the number of trees are limited so preserve yours as soon as possible.
God bless
