Removal of Christmas Trees

Port Moody, BC • Sunday, Jan 4, 2026

Before we knew it, the Feast of the Epiphany was upon us and it was time to take down the Christmas trees. After the Noon Mass on Sunday, we gathered to remove the decorations and carry the trees out of the church so the sanctuary could be cleared in time for Epiphany.

We were grateful for the strong turnout. Many hands made quick work of the trees and decorations. The ladies also handled the remaining sanctuary decor while we moved the larger items out.
