For 57 years, the night shines brightly at the Shrine of Our Lady of Snows as the annual Way of Lights Christmas display illuminates the grounds, focusing on the Journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Christ, the one true light of the world.

As our largest fundraiser, donations are accepted to help us continue bringing this family tradition to our community each year.

This page gets updated regularly during the Way of Lights season. Check back for updates.

Closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve & Christmas . (Outdoor light display will remain open.)
