Each year, Catherine's House displays a beautiful Christmas Tree in their lobby, decorated with ornaments and twinkly lights. The fourteen women and eleven children living in the House pass by the tree everyday as they exit and enter the House.

Catherine's House encourages you to purchase a light on the tree to remember that special person (or persons) in your life. Over the years, many people have been honored and rememered in this unique way. It is a beautiful gift to give someone (they are notified of the lights being donated in their name) and also serves as a gift to Catherine's House, as all proceeds go to the up-keep of the ministry and services of the House.
At the lighting ceremony and celebration, a book will be on display with the names of the persons represented by the lights. The tree will be lit outside of Catherine's House and tours of the facility will be offered to anyone wishing to look inside the decorated house. And you don't have to worry about getting hungry because String Bean Restraunt and Deli will be providing food and beverages.
Festivities are from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Everyone one is welcome to come out and celebrate this opportunity to meet the volunteers, women and children that I've been introducing to you. Though some of the names have been anonyomous, the heart is the same.
For more information on how to participate in this beautiful Christmas tradition, contact Patsy Fuller, Office Manager, at (704)-825-9599 or patsyfuller@catherineshouseinc.org.
Oh...wish I lived (a LOT) closer and could participate! You are doing a great job with these stories. :)
