PERPETUAL  REMEMBRANCES

Dear Family,

     When a loved one passes away, family members and friends desire to give an expression of sympathy to the family.  They want to let the family be aware of their concern for them in this, their time of sorrow.  The Perpetual Eucharistic Candle Guild is a gift that lasts not for a month, a year, or even a decade, but as long as the grace of God is needed.  The person enrolled will share perpetually in the spiritual benefits of this Guild as noted below. The burning of the candle before Jesus present in the Most Blessed Sacrament is a continual reminder of your loved one and also of your generosity to our Holy Order.

                                                                                             Sincerely,

                                                                                Mother Mary James
