A Blessed Christmas Lighting at SFDS
On Tuesday, December 12, crowds gathered in the St. Francis de Sales Prayer Garden for the annual lighting of the church’s memorial Christmas trees, angels and life-size Nativity scene. Music Director Michael Fontana started off the festivities by leading everyone present in carols. Then, Father Jim Cunningham and Father Bill Sweeney each said a few words and led a prayer. It was an especially joyous occasion as Tess Kuhlmann, a local tenth grader who had been in a very serious accident in May, was there and pushed the button to light up the large display after the crowd participated in a countdown. And, of course, Santa Claus was present join in the celebration.
