Love Lights
Date: Sunday, December 14th at 3:00 pm
Location: St. Mary's Hospital Atrium
Love Lights is a part of St. Mary’s Hospital Auxiliary that began to raise funds to support the hospital's mission to be a compassionate and healing presence in the community. Funds from past donations helped establish a new Family Grieving Room, located within the hospital for families who need space to gather after a loss. Previous funds also provided an outdoor garden and recreational area at St. Mary’s Highland Hills Memory Care Center that was recently dedicated. Improving the center’s enclosed garden area brought many benefits, including improved mobility in the gardens for all residents, as well as space for families to visit in the sunshine.
Funds from the 2025 year will be used to continue the mission of helping our St. Mary’s community.
Gifts can be made to Love Lights throughout the year in honor of loved ones, living or deceased; to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions; and for the special recognition of a person or organization. Furthermore, Love Lights is a way to recognize a St. Mary’s colleague, volunteer or physician who has made a meaningful impact through their compassionate care and excellent service.
The Love Lights Tree Lighting Program will be held in the hospital atrium on Sunday, December 14th at 3:00 pm, where the tree will be lit to commemorate your generous donations. The Georgia Children’s Choir will be performing, and Santa will also be available for pictures.
