If your Catholic church, group or business is operating one this year, here's how you can let us know.

Donna Lunneborg has been attending the Catholic Church of Visitation on Lyndale Avenue since 1959. Living in a five-bedroom house near Lake Harriet, she raised nine children, all of whom attended the church's school. Some of her children were married in the church. She buried one son there. Even now, when she no longer lives in the neighborhood, Lunneborg regularly makes the trip to Visitation to attend services. But the future of Visitation is unclear. It is one of 21 churches slated to be absorbed by other parishes under a plan released by the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis in mid-October.
