The Worldwide Candle Lighting Celebration, in memory of children who left us too soon, is held annually on the second Sunday in December.
At 7:00 pm in every time zone, candles are lighted in honour of all children who have died. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lighted 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, are invited to attend this non-denominational celebration of remembrance.
The 21st annual TCF Ottawa Candle Lighting Celebration will be held:
Sunday, December 8th, 2019
St. Augustine’s Church Hall
1060 Baseline Road
Please arrive by 6:45pm to sign in before the 7:00pm start. Bring a photo of your loved one. Candles are provided.
There is no charge for this event.
