MONROE — SSM Health at Home will host its annual Celebration of Lights, an event to honor the light and love of someone significant. During this annual service, they will remember those that have died, and honor those who are still alive. 

Celebration of Lights will be held on Thursday, Dec. 1, at Monroe United Methodist Church (2227 4th Street) in Monroe. Attendees are welcome to join 6 p.m. for a special “Make a Memory” rock painting exercise. The celebration ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to last about 45 minutes with a reception to follow.

Registration is not required, and the ceremony is open to all. For those unable to attend in person, the service will be available on the Monroe United Methodist Church (WI) YouTube channel. Visit ssmhealth.com/Events for more information. 

In the past, community members were able to order memorial ornaments directly from SSM Health at Home as part of Celebration of Lights. This year ornaments will be sold by Monroe Engraving. Contact them at 608-329-4111 to place an order. Monroe Engraving will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation’s hospice fund.
