The Christmas season brings joy and togetherness, but it also provides a time for reflection and to honour the memory of loved ones who are no longer with us. Once again, Fermoy Community Health Project, Fermoy Community Resource Centre, and the Fermoy Committee of Cork Mental Health invite the community to come together to celebrate and remember those we've lost, through love and light, at the Lights of Love – Remembrance Event on Sunday, 8th December 2024.
The Lights of Love Remembrance Tree will be lit in the peaceful, award-winning garden at the Fermoy Community Resource Centre, located on McCurtain Street. Now in its 9th year, this special annual event gives participants the opportunity to sponsor a light in memory of a loved one and share a reflective moment with the community during the Christmas season.
Event Details:
- Date: Sunday, 8th December 2024
- Time: 5:00pm – 6:00pm (seasonal refreshments will be served)
- Tree lighting ceremony: 5:45pm
- Location: Fermoy Community Resource Centre, McCurtain Street, Fermoy, County Cork, P61 T237
On the day of the event, for a €5 donation, you are invited to sponsor a light on the Remembrance Tree. Each light symbolizes a cherished memory. Every sponsorship includes a unique 'Lights of Love' Christmas remembrance card, which can be sent to family members to let them know a light is shining in memory of their loved one. In addition, you will receive a special 'Lights of Love' Christmas keepsake, handmade by Brigid Fanning, Deerpark Florist Heavenly Flowers, Fermoy. You can also write the name of your loved one on our memory frame, which will be displayed beside the tree.
The event provides a warm and inclusive space for the community to come together, especially during a time when the absence of loved ones can be deeply felt. The lights on the tree will shine throughout the Christmas season, offering a symbol of hope and remembrance as we move into the New Year.
