This Advent, our churches will showcase a live outdoor Christmas tree. On the weekend of December 16 & 17, all are warmly invited to gather by the tree for a delightful time of singing Christmas carols.

At Holy Family, the gathering will follow the 5 pm Mass on December 16th; and at St. Columba Church, it will follow the 11 am Mass on December 17th.

In the spirit of festivity, we encourage each family to contribute by bringing an ornament to embellish the tree. Please ensure that your ornament is durable enough for outdoor conditions. Feel free to add your ornaments to the tree at any time during the Advent/Christmas season. Just as we have family trees in our homes, it's fitting that we create a parish family tree at our church home. We are a Christ-centered family, living out the message of Christ in our daily lives.
