On Saturday, December 13, 2025, St. Mary of the Hills Council 13950 held our 19th Annual Birthday Party for Jesus.

 

A total of about 140 Children and their parents attended the event in the Gymnasium of our Church building in Rochester Hills.

 

The children decorated cookies and completed an Arts & Crafts project.  Once these events were completed, our Pastor and Council Chaplain, Fr. Stan Ulman, read a Christmas story to the children.

 

When Fr. Stan finished reading, Santa joined in the festivities.  Pictures were taken with many of the children, and some adults.  Santa also gave little gifts to the children.

 

The decorated trees in the pictures are part of our Terry's Trees program which honor the memory of our late Brother Knight Terry LaFlamme who passed away in 2020. Trees are decorated by the Knights and several parish groups. People purchase sponsorships for their favorite trees with the possibility of taking the tree home
