Vancouver decks its halls with joyful blue
By The B.C. Catholic
Blue lights lit up homes, churches, and rectories across the Lower Mainland this Christmas.
The Archdiocese of Vancouver launched the Blue Light Campaign during Advent as a way to show solidarity with all people facing grief or hardship while trying to celebrate Christmas during a pandemic. Themed “Jesus our Living Hope,” the light campaign was aimed at offering hope and solidarity to all people.
Here is a selection of photos from the many Catholics who joined in.
