Candlelight Vigil to Remember Deceased Children - Erie, PA Dec. 13th
On December 13, 2009, New Blossoms, New Life Foundation will be hosting a candlelight vigil in conjunction with The Compassionate Friends’ Worldwide Candle Lighting™.
This event honors the memory of children who have passed away, regardless of their age.
The Worldwide Candle Lighting is a day where candles will be lit around the world at 7 p.m. local time, so “that their light may always shine.”
The local event will be held at Perry Square in downtown Erie beginning at 6 p.m. with a time of sharing. During this time, a slideshow of submitted photos of the children will play with accompanying music.
The ceremony will start with a non-denominational blessing at 6:50, with the candle lighting starting at 7. Light snacks and beverages will be served after.
Those who wish to attend are encouraged, but not required, to pre-register at [url]www.newblossomsnewlife.org[/url] or by calling (814) 734-1585.
Pre-registration allows for the inclusion of the attendee’s loved one in the slide show, if so desired.
Other local sponsors include Burton Funeral Homes, Ericson Memorials and Hamot Medical Center.
New Blossoms, New Life Foundation was started in memory of Maggie Kovski, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 2.
