Look To The Mount Winter 2013 Holiday Happenings Thanksgiving Mass In honor of Thanksgiving, residents celebrated a special Mass in which they reflected and shared what they are most grateful for in their lives. These reflections were written on autumn leaves which the residents then brought to the altar to hang on a tree branch during Mass. A Special Time The holidays are always a very special time at Mount St. Joseph—and this year was no exception. The following pages offer a glimpse of some of this year’s activities and festivities. Faith, Hope and Charity Luncheon A group of residents attended a Christmas luncheon at Faith, Hope and Charity Church in Winnetka. The luncheon, held on the first Sunday in December and hosted by the church’s Women’s Club, has been a Mount St. Joseph holiday tradition for many years. The ladies were treated to a lovely luncheon, followed by a visit from Santa. They also enjoyed live music and dancing the polka!
