Luminaria | Christmas Eve 2012
Click here to view an important message from SPS board president Kim Tarver.
Suicide Prevention Services began a new tradition in 2007. Continuing that tradition, luminarias will be lit again this Christmas Eve at Stone Manor in memory of those who are no longer with us.
Each year during the holiday season, a small group of volunteers comes together to create a luminaria display at Stone Manor on Christmas Eve. The light shines in the darkness representing hope along a path leading to a place where hope becomes reality. This year, we’d like to acknowledge every financial gift with a luminaria and we invite you to make the symbolic lights a part of your holiday tradition.
Please join us in decorating the SPS front walkway on Christmas Eve with a luminaria purchase in honor of a loved one. Click here to purchase a Luminaria ($5 each) or make a donation. Then, stop by on the evening of Christmas Eve to enjoy the light of our loved ones.
Call us at (630) 482.9699 or email us for more details.
