Service of Light Mass
Sunday, February 26, 2012: Join us at 1:30 PM at St. Maria Goretti, 500 Northgate Drive, Dyer, IN. The Service of Light Mass is a memorial Mass for families whose lives have been touched by the loss of a child in miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or any other cause of childhood death. During the Mass, we will recognize by name the children who have passed away. You may also bring a photo or an item to be displayed near the altar during the Mass in remembrance of your loved one. Please join the parents in support and recognition of the sanctity of their children’s lives. For more information or to have a child added to the list of those being remembered, please call Lisa Anderson at 219-558-2187.
