Tree of Peace and Light
Marydell Faith and Life Center will host its 16th annual winter program and lighting of the Tree of Peace and Light on December 5, 2020 at 5:00p. Due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, the entire indoor program and outdoor tree lighting will be streamed online this year. The program recording will be available to stream from December 5 through the end of the month.
The tree lighting is of special significance this year. As in past years, candles and tree lights will be lit in remembrance of those we have lost and those whose needs we recognize. This year, our lights will also serve as a symbol of hope for health and peace for our local and global community. Remembrance lights for loved ones may be reserved in advance with a small donation made either online or by phone.
This year, the Reflection Center near the Tree of Peace and Light – with its sweeping views of Hook Mountain and the Hudson River – will display the names of those we remember along with a memorial floral arrangement. The Reflection Center is open for families and individuals with advance reservations as a place for meditation and prayers of hope. Reservations may be made by calling Marydell Faith and Life Center.
Virtual attendees are encouraged to register for this free event.
Tuesdays – Sept. 22, Sept. 29, Oct. 6, Oct. 13, 2020

Our Events
“What drew me to Marydell was being able to expose my students to the outdoors and an environment completely different from what they are used to. Most of my participants are not used to seeing so much greenery and they do not get to go outside their neighborhood. I felt the beautiful grounds at Marydell were a great experience for the children. I wanted also to provide a safe space for my participants to go swimming.
Marydell is a special place because the staff has always been very kind and caring towards the children and my staff. It is very well maintained and the children really love it there. They get to learn a lot about nature. The hikes, beach walks, and natural crafts make our inner-city day camp feel almost like a traditional sleep away camp. The addition of the garden has been a wonderful experience for the children as well.”
