This year's returning guest is CLOPPER THE DONKEY! He can be visited by the outdoor manger. You can read about him on his story boards exhibited as part of our Christmas Display. You can take him home with you by visiting the gift shop and purchasing a copy of one of his books. Also this year Clopper would like to introduce one of his stuffed friends, Luke the Ox. Luke is this year's collectable gift. Find Luke in the gift shop along with his Christmas story, "Room For A Little One". A great gift for that special someone on your list.

Dear Friends of La Salette,
"The National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette is happy to announce the 58th Annual Festival of Lights beginning on November 24, 2011,Thanksgiving Night through January 1 of 2012. Words are inadequate to describe how the 350,000 lights will develop our theme for this year."
...LIGHT OF LIFE
Nevertheless, we can say that ...
CHRISTMAS...
is a time to reflect upon the birth of Jesus! Jesus is the reason for all of these lights because HE IS OUR LIGHT OF LIFE. In good times and in bad times, Jesus is always the LIGHT OF "our" LIFE!
LIGHT OF LIFE...
It is my hope that each and every one of you be touched by Jesus' LIGHT and be reborn once again!
May your life become a "LIGHT OF LIFE" to your family and all those you will meet throughout your lifetime!
OUR INTERNATIONAL CRÈCHE MUSEUM...
has many crèches from around the world.
FACES OF JESUS...
This year we have a New Exhibit "Faces of Jesus." It is another way to see Jesus' LIGHT OF LIFE through the eyes of our brothers and sisters from around the world.
THE OUTDOOR CRÈCHE OF BETHLEHEM
along with "CLOPPER" the Christmas Donkey are some of the main attractions.
Come one! Come all!
LIGHT OF LIFE...
Come and visit us... to walk among the lights, to view the sights and hear the sounds of this most blessed Season of Jesus' birth. Here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette discover for yourself, as well as with your family and friends, what this newborn child wants to share with us.
May His limitless Peace, Love, and Joy reveal to us that He is indeed the LIGHT OF LIFE.
Reverend Brother Bob Russell, M.S.
Shrine Director
