Light Up Shrine

Join us as we illuminate the Advent season at the corner of 12 Mile and Woodward with the free Light Up Shrine event. 

The evening will feature “A word of hope” from Rev. John Bettin, plus choir performances, a tree lighting, the Cappuccino Man mobile espresso cart, hot dogs, drinks and more.

Across 12 Mile, the Shrine Catholic Grade School gym will be transformed into a Christmas Village with cookie decorating, games, crafts, Nativity ornament decorating, face painting, and photos with Santa in his workshop. On the north lawn, an illuminated Candy Cane trail will showcase a student Christmas tree contest, and guests can vote for their favorite tree and receive a special candy cane prayer. 

Guests are invited to bring items for an Angels’ Place donation collection: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, toilet paper, paper towel, Kleenex and Chlorox wipes.

Angels’ Place is Christian nonprofit in Southfield that provides loving homes and professional support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The festivities will take place immediately after the 4:30 p.m. Mass in front of the tower at 12 Mile and Woodward, 2100 W. 12 Mile.
