A Catholic charity serving our suffering and persecuted brothers and sisters around the world since 1947
light a candle for your intentions
Is there a loved one you would like to remember on a special day? An anniversary or birthday you want to record in a sacred manner, in a faithful environment?
Please visit us at www.lightingacandle.org. Here you can light a candle for any of your intentions. You can set up vigils for a particular event and invite your family members to light candles in the vigil as well.
We have different chapels to choose from. And we never ask for a donation to light a candle.
