Mayo-Roscommon Hospice Foundation is asking people to Shine a Light for Hospice this November to help raise funds for vital palliative care services.
This year because the foundation can’t hold its annual gathering for its tree-lighting ceremony., people are being asked to light a candle in their own home on Sunday, November 29 at 6.30pm to remember a loved one, living or deceased and share in the Shine A Light Ceremony from afar. During the virtual ceremony, loved ones who have passed away or indeed those who have been going through a tough time will be remembered. You can light your own candle or purchase a special Mayo/Roscommon Hospice Foundation candle for the evening.
The ‘Shine a Light For Hospice’ campaign was launched recently at Knock Shrine by CEO of the foundation Martina Jennings and Parish Priest of Knock Fr Richard Gibbons who will help officiate at the ceremony on November 29, at 6.30pm on the Mayo/Roscommon Hospice Facebook page so people may join in from the safety of their own homes.
A special Mayo/Roscommon Hospice Foundation candle for the evening priced at €10 may be purchased by logging onto www.hospice.ie/shop or by calling the Foundation on 094 9388666.
