Hello Fellow Parents;
You are invited to join us for the 2024 Candle Lighting Celebration in memory of our children, who have left us too soon.
This event is held annually on the second Sunday in December. This year’s Celebration will be on Sunday December 8th, 2024.
The Compassionate Friends is international. On this one Sunday, every year at 7:00 PM in all time zones, candles are lit by Compassionate Friends families to honour children who have died. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lit in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light that encircles the globe, that their light may always shine.
All parents, families and friends of children who have died from any cause at any age from infant to adult, are invited to attend this non-denominational celebration of remembrance.
Candles will be provided for you.
Please bring a free-standing picture of your child(ren) and arrive by 6:30 for a prompt 7:00 PM start.
