Christmas, Parish Events

A Snapshot of Christmas Happenings

Trees

Tree sale
For the past 39 years, St. Cuthbert’s Oakville has been selling Christmas trees to decorate the homes of many satisfied customers and as a fund raiser to support their parish ministries. What started as a small seed venture has blossomed into a major operation; this year the parish once again imported 600 trees from Nova Scotia. Photo: Lydia Rice

The Church of Our Saviour The Redeemer Stoney Creek capped their 140th anniversary on December 31st. Most parishioners, including the anniversary committee (pictured here), marked the occasion by dressing in period attire. Photo: Submitted
