Give a gift of light this holiday season.
Every holiday season, we are inspired by our Ascension Wisconsin community who help advance the Mission of Ascension by honoring loved ones through Love Lights.
Hosted in partnership with Ascension hospital volunteers, Love Lights inspires you to illuminate our hospitals with holiday lights by making a gift in memory, celebration or honor of a loved one, or in tribute to military personnel, law enforcement, firefighters and medical responders.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity.
Well wishes from Spiritual Services
We are honored to see more than 300 loved ones honored this holiday season. Every name honored has numerous memories tied to it – memories of love, joy and happiness. Hear a special thank you from Rev. Traci Houts who shares how to keep the memories of our loved ones alive this holiday season.
Thank you for honoring your loved ones and
community members this holiday season.

Thank you Ascension Wisconsin Hospital volunteers
Love Lights is a longstanding tradition that began with dedicated hospital volunteers who make a meaningful impact in our communities.
Today, Ascension Wisconsin volunteers continue to play an important role in advancing the Mission of Ascension Wisconsin. From greeting patients and visitors, to escorting a patient to an appointment or helping a customer in the gift shop, we are beyond grateful for all they do.
Ascension Wisconsin Volunteer spotlight: David
"David is a dedicated and loyal Eucharistic Minister. He has volunteered over 200 hours making sure our patients and their families receive the Eucharist and spiritual care they need. David regularly volunteers for the holiday shifts always giving of his time to benefit others. Our program is much stronger because of David and we are thankful every day to have him on our volunteer team."
Joan Smasal, Volunteer Services Coordinator at Ascension Franklin & St. Francis Hospitals
