Event Details
All are invited to gather for this beautiful annual vigil during which we remember the saints and loved ones who have gone on before us. We fill St. John’s Columbarium with luminarias, each one honoring a particular person or persons who have died. All are invited to decorate a small white paper bag (or more than one) in memory of someone who has died. With sand in the bottom and a candle, the bags become luminaria whose light reminds us that “the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” Blank bags will be available on Sunday mornings Oct 23 and Oct 30 if you want to decorate at home; or you can come a few minutes early on Tues, Nov 1 to decorate your luminaria before the service begins. A short vigil with music and prayer is followed by time to quietly walk, tell stories, pray, and remember.
