Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation annual ceremony

The Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation’s Annual Shine a Light Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on Sunday, December 7, to help raise funds for vital palliative care services in both Mayo and Roscommon.

The Foundation’s Memorial Walk will precede the Ceremony and will begin at the Plaza in Knock at 4 p.m.

The Shine a Light Tree Lighting Ceremony will begin at 5 p.m., with music by the Rejoice Gospel Choir, Ballina.

People are invited to remember a loved one, living or deceased and share in the Shine A Light ceremony. During the ceremony, loved ones who have passed away or indeed those who have been going through a challenging time will be remembered. Prayers and music will be offered for those being remembered. Refreshments will also be served.

Christmas cards are available to purchase online, and hospice mugs are available to purchase in local Hospice Shops, with all proceeds supporting palliative care services.

Martina Jennings, CEO of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation said:

“Our annual Memorial Walk and Shine a Light events continue to be truly heartfelt occasions, uniting our communities as we remember and honour loved ones who have passed. It is always a special evening, and we invite families, friends, and neighbours to join us.

“As we come to the end of another year, we remain deeply grateful for the continued support shown across Mayo and Roscommon. Our Palliative Care Teams - in our hospices and throughout the communities - are committed to delivering compassionate care to those who need it most. Your unwavering support makes this vital service possible, and for that, we sincerely thank you.”
