ALTAR FLOWERS AND SANCTUARY CANDLES
Altar Flowers and Sanctuary Candles may be given by members of the congregation in honor or in memory of special people or events in our lives, such as:  family members and friends who have died (this is done on or about the date of the loved one's death as a commemoration of his or her entrance into the gates of heaven; of course, the anniversary of the person's birth date is another possible commemoration date) and in honor of anniversaries of weddings and birthdays, the birth of a child, a graduation, etc.

The calendar of available dates is found by clicking here Calendar.
