Light A Life

Remembering the loved ones we've lost.
Supporting Helena area hospice patients.

Looking for a special way to honor someone who has passed away? Purchase a memorial light as part of St. Peter’s Health Foundation’s annual Light A Life celebration. Your light will shine brightly on the trees at the Helena Civic Center during our annual tree lighting ceremony — a beautiful tribute to loved ones who live on in our hearts.

Light A Life gifts help ensure compassionate end-of-life care is available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. These donations also support ongoing training for staff and volunteers in the best ways to provide comfort and dignity to patients and their families.

Our long-standing tradition of lighting an 80-foot evergreen at the Civic Center came to an end when the tree was lost in a major windstorm in January 2021. Yet, the spirit of Light A Life continues — with a new display of lighted trees that carry forward this cherished tradition of remembrance and hope.
