Annual 2023 Parish Christmas Tree Lighting

December 2, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm

The 2018 Church of the Infant Saviour Christmas Tree is lit!

The Knights of Columbus Monsignor James S. Conlan Council #5329 will be lighting the Church of the Infant Saviour Parish Christmas Tree immediately after the 5 pm Mass on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Before being lit, the tree will be blessed by Fr. Niranjan Rodrigo as is tradition in our Parish. The mass is estimated to end around 6 pm, but it is recommended to arrive slightly before this time so you do not miss the tree lighting if you are not attending the mass. All are welcome to attend and join in as we begin the Advent liturgical season with this wonderful event!

In years past, our Council donated a tree to the Parish and then decorated it. Last year, through a generous donation, the Parish was given a tree that was able to be planted. One of our Brother Knights (who wishes to remain anonymous) has spent the past year taking care of it with proper watering and feedings. The tree has grown since then and filled in very nicely. The plan is to let the tree grow for another few seasons so it gets at least 10-12′ tall. It is currently around 8′ tall this year as of this writing. With a new permanent tree for the Parish, we now are responsible for decorating the tree each year along with its upkeep throughout the year. We will also take the decorations down once the Christmas season ends. This annual event is part of of our Council’s community service to the Parish and yet another way we give back charitably to our Parish Community.

The Church of the Infant Saviour is located at 22 Holland Ave., Pine Bush, NY 12566. Directions can be found below.
