Description
For the past nine years, local hospice care providers have combined efforts to create a service for centering and healing. We Remember: A Community Interfaith Memorial has been and continues to be a space where the words, rhythms, and practices of the interfaith community are offered for people to support and uphold each other in our adversity and loss. Using the language of many traditions - prayers, songs, reflections, music, and readings from sacred texts – this service gives language to grief, mourning, and celebration of life. Certainly, as the Interfaith Memorials of years past have shown, resilience is found within every religious, secular, and spiritual identity.
This year’s event will take place at the
Catholic Information Center
on
Tuesday, September 12
from
6:30pm-8:00pm
. The annual event will offer a 30-minute memorial-style service,
featuring persons from diverse religious / secular / spiritual
traditions, followed by interactive family-friendly activities to
process loss and remember our loved ones. The service will feature
music, reflection, meditation, and poetry inclusive to all traditions.
Whether grieving recent losses, honoring those who have long
since passed, or simply curious as to how various traditions
commemorate the passing of life, all are welcome to share in this
family-friendly space.
This event has been tagged as community, grief, interfaith, memorial, and remembrance.
