Sis believes in the "significance" of Hanukkah "for all faiths" because "because it is a celebration of religious freedom - the right to practice one's religion according to the dictates of one's conscience".
The Diocese of San Angelo published a poster for the event, showing a tree with symbols of different religions. It presents the idea that it doesn't matter what "religion" you believe in, which is true, as long as one's choice is only between false religions.
Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the second temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC. The Church no longer celebrates the rites of the Old Covenant. It even forbids to do so, since these rites are all fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
