Christmas is a time to spend with our loved ones, especially family. It can also be a painful time if someone who is close to us is not able to spend the Holiday at home. Whether they have passed away, in the military, or simply not able to come home, these realities can often make this holiday more difficult.

This year at St. Aloysius we are establishing a "Family Christmas Tree." During the Christmas season, there will be a tree in the main entrance decorated with bulbs dedicated to those who weren't able to be with us for Christmas this year. 

During the season of Advent, there will be envelopes that can be picked up at either entrance of the church. For $10, you can buy an ornamental bulb to decorate as a dedication. You can either choose to decorate the bulb yourself, or a team of volunteers from the parish can do it for you.

If you would like to participate, fill out and drop off an envelope in the collection basket by Christmas Day. If you have any questions, please reach out to Fr. Riley.

All proceeds to towards future seasonal decorations at St. Aloysius.
