In December 2022, JRH welcomed the Peace Light to the shores of Lake Winnebago. The Peace Light is a continuous flame originating in the grotto of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. For almost 40 years, this flame has been shared around the world each December to remind people of Christ’s message of love and the deeper meaning of Christmas. It is symbolic of the Light of Christ and promotes unity among all peoples.
JRH is a Keeper of the Light, meaning that we maintain the Peace Light year-round. We do this in multiple locations at the retreat house so that the flame is never lost.
